Shakira Acquitted of Tax Fraud But Remains in Limbo
Shakira has been embroiled in an eight-year legal battle after Spanish authorities accused her of tax fraud in 2018. Now, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer has been acquitted and is owed a massive reimbursement from the government. However, in the meantime, she remains in legal limbo.
According to Variety, Spain’s high court acquitted Skakira of tax fraud in May 2026. Following the investigation, the court ordered the country’s treasury to issue a refund of almost $65 million to the 49-year-old, including interest. This came as the court ruled that the funds had been improperly collected from the singer.
Regarding the acquittal, the court found that the government agency failed to prove that Shakira spent 183 days in the country in 2011. Had this been the case, she would have been deemed a resident and required to pay personal income tax. However, she instead spent only 163 days in Spain that financial year.
For the time being, Shakira remains in limbo as the nation’s tax agency has vowed to appeal to the Spanish Supreme Court. Additionally, they will not remit funds to the icon until the final ruling is issued.
Shakira Issued A Statement Following Tax Fraud Acquittal
Following the news of her acquittal, Shakira issued a statement, calling the eight-year court battle “brutal” and accusing the investigation of being an attempt to harm her reputation.
She said, “After more than eight years of enduring brutal public targeting, orchestrated campaigns to destroy my reputation, and sleepless nights that ultimately impacted my health and my family’s well-being, the National High Court has finally set the record straight.”
After that, she noted that the accusation of “fraud” was false and that “the Administration itself could never prove otherwise, simply because it wasn’t true.”
From there, she detailed the grooling process, saying, “Yet, for nearly a decade, I was treated as guilty. Every step of the process was leaked, distorted, and amplified, using my name and public image to send a threatening message to the rest of the taxpayers.”
Shakira then said the “narrative crumbles” regarding her legal victory. In the end, she dedicated her win to “ordinary citizens who are abused and crushed every day by a system that presumes their guilt and forces them to prove their innocence at the cost of economic and emotional ruin.”
Fans Are Rallying Around Shakira
Shakira’s legal victory is being celebrated online, especially for her mention of “ordinary citizens” accused of similar financial crimes. One person on X said, “I’m not sure how Shakira could be guilty of anything other than being one of the most beautiful women on earth. In all seriousness, I’m glad this legal nightmare is over.”
Someone else said, “That’s a big win for her. I hope the news of her acquittal is as loud as the news of her charges were.” A different person wrote, “The Spanish tax authorities always seem to be fishing in troubled waters. They’ll take the money from anyone who’s not careful. The same thing happened with James Rodríguez.”
After that, a different X user reacted to Shakira’s reimbursement. According to them, “Wait, $64 million returned? That’s a plot twist even her greatest hits didn’t see coming… good for her.”
The Singer Previously Settled
In addition to being accused of failing to pay taxes for 2011, the Spanish court found that the singer committed the same offense from 2012 to 2014. However, in lieu of a trial, she reached a settlement in November 2023, according to the BBC. Per the agreement, she paid $7 million after being accused of owing $15 million.
She explained her decision to settle in 2024 in a letter published in “El Mundo.” She explained that she did so to protect her children, stating, “I want to leave my children the legacy of a woman who explained her reasons calmly and in her own time, when she considered it necessary, not when she was forced to.”
Shakira added, “I need them to know that I made the decisions I made to protect them, to be by their side, and to get on with my life. Not out of cowardice or guilt.”
The Icon Recently Performed For 2 Million People
Shakira became the latest artist to headline Copacabana on May 2. According to Reuters, the iconic singer also became the newest performer to draw a 2 million-person audience, following Lady Gaga in 2025.
She addressed the crowd, saying, “Brazil, I love you. It’s magical to see millions of souls together, ready to sing, feel, dance, and remind the world of what really matters.” Shakira performed hits such as “Hips Don’t Lie,” “Antologia,” and “Waka Waka.”
Additionally, according to Billboard, the music legend will perform during the halftime at the 2026 World Cup. Madonna and BTS will also take the stage.

“Full House” stars reunite to celebrate late Bob Saget's 70th birthday: 'You're still making us laugh'
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/Full-House-Andrea-Barber-Dave-Coulier-Candace-Cameron-Bure-091224-02-f40fb35176ed416cbb8eed9a6fea46d8.jpg)
Candace Cameron Bure and Lori Loughlin were among those at a tribute to the late comedian.
Yellowstone is back on the menu for a lot of people right now, and with good reason. Dutton Ranch‘s premiere on Paramount+ has driven people back to Yellowstone, and that means, for some, all the way back to the start. The family history of the Duttons is a violent, dangerous, epic and brutal one, but every good story had to start somewhere, and that’s where viewers appear to be looking right now on Paramount+. Before the Dutton Ranch there was… nothing, except the barren wastes of Montana. But the story of how it became the Dutton Ranch is one of the most perfectly made miniseries in television history.
There’s something magical about 1883. It’s not as star-studded as 1923, and definitely a lot more punishing and brutal. And obviously it’s got very little in common with the later spin-offs, because, well, it’s set in the 1800s. The show sees the earliest generation of the Dutton family as they make the brutal journey west toward Montana, looking for the start to their legacy. But what makes it work is the supporting cast members they meet along the way.
America’s uncle, Tom Hanks, pops up in the second episode as General George Meade during a Civil War flashback involving James Dutton, while Landman‘s Billy Bob Thornton appears as Marshal Jim Courtright. It’s not a case where both guys come in here and start dominating the show, it’s more like a little sprinking of stardust. Hanks’ appearance is notable because it’s essentially a dream sequence, a fantasy, in the wake of one of the most awful moments in a character’s life. And that’s why it’s still doing so well now on streaming, because you don’t have to be completely caught up on every branch of the Yellowstone universe to understand 1883. It’s a family struggling to make it to their final destination, and everyone can empathize with that.
Who’s in ‘1883’?
1883 stars Sam Elliott (A Star Is Born, Road House) as Shea Brennan, Tim McGraw (The Blind Side, Friday Night Lights) as James Dutton, Faith Hill (The Stepford Wives, Dixieland) as Margaret Dutton, Isabel May (I Want You Back, Run Hide Fight) as Elsa Dutton, LaMonica Garrett (Clemency, Transformers: Dark of the Moon) as Thomas, Marc Rissmann (Overlord, The Last Kingdom) as Josef, Audie Rick (Kenobi: A Star Wars Story, 1883) as John Dutton Sr., Eric Nelsen (A Walk Among the Tombstones, The Bay) as Ennis, James Landry Hébert (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Gangster Squad) as Wade, Noah Le Gros (The Beach House, A Score to Settle) as Colton, Rita Wilson (Sleepless in Seattle, Runaway Bride) as Carolyn, Graham Greene (Dances with Wolves, Wind River) as Spotted Eagle, Martin Sensmeier (The Magnificent Seven, Wind River) as Sam, Gratiela Brancusi (Mayor of Kingstown, 1883) as Noemi, Anna Fiamora (DownBeat, The Way Out) as Risa, and Amanda Jaros (Women of the Movement, The Resident) as Alina.
1883 is streaming on Paramount+.

A New York judge dealt a major blow to Luigi Mangione on Monday, May 18, ruling that key evidence against the accused CEO killer, including a weapon and manifesto-style writings, can be used in his upcoming state trial, Us Weekly can confirm.
Judge Gregory Carro‘s decision came after nine days of pretrial hearings at the Manhattan Criminal Court in December 2025, during which Mangione’s defense team argued that items found in their client’s backpack — including a 3D-printed handgun equipped with a silencer and a notebook that prosecutors claimed had detailed his intention to “wack” (a misspelling of “whack”) a health insurance executive — should be inadmissible in court since police did not have a search warrant when they arrested Mangione.
Mangione’s lawyers had also fought to suppress statements that the 28-year-old made prior to being detained at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in December 2024. Bodycam footage played in court confirmed the defense’s claim that officers asked Mangione questions for nearly 20 minutes before reading him his Miranda rights.
Carro ruled during Monday’s hearing, which Mangione attended in a navy suit, that the gun and notebook can be presented to a jury once the trial begins on September 8 because police discovered both items at their station. However, in a small win for Mangione, the judge found that other pieces of evidence, including a loaded gun magazine, passport, cellphone, wallet and computer chip, were inadmissible due to what he called an “improper, warrantless search” at McDonald’s.
The Ivy League graduate has pleaded not guilty to the 11 state charges against him, two of which Carro dropped in September 2025 due to insufficient evidence of terrorism. He faces life in prison in the New York case.
Mangione was also hit with four federal charges following his arrest. However, U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garnett dismissed two of the counts, including murder through the use of a firearm, in January, sparing Mangione of the death penalty.
At the time, Garnett also ruled that the gun and other evidence can be used in Mangione’s federal trial, which is set to begin in January 2027. He has entered a not guilty plea in that case as well.
Additionally, the Maryland native faces five charges in Pennsylvania, including carrying a firearm without a license and false identification to law enforcement. He did not enter a plea there before being extradited to New York for what his attorneys — and Mangione himself — have called “double jeopardy,” a legal phrase used to describe a person being prosecuted twice for the same offense.
Accused killer Luigi Mangione allegedly started a to-do list after the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a veteran police officer testified in court on Monday, December 8. Christy Wasser of the Altoona Police Department in Pennsylvania said during a pretrial hearing in New York City that she found a red notebook inside Mangione’s backpack […]
Since being taken into custody, Mangione has amassed tens of thousands of supporters thanks to both his physical appearance and a wider frustration with the healthcare system in the United States. His legal defense fund has raised more than $1.5 million to date, and he gets hundreds of letters a day at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn.
“I am overwhelmed by — and grateful for — everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support,” Mangione said in his only public statement in February 2025. “Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial and even class divisions, as mail has flooded MDC from across the country and around the globe. While it is impossible for me to reply to most letters, please know that I read every one that I receive. Thank you again to everyone who took the time to write. I look forward to hearing more in the future.”
2026 has already been a busy year for Taylor Sheridan so far, but that doesn’t come as much of a surprise to close followers of his work. Sheridan got the ball rolling in 2026 with a pair of new releases, The Madison and Marshals, but only the latter is still on the air. Marshals is set to come to a close soon, though, but the series has been renewed for Season 2, and leading star Luke Grimes has already confirmed that the neo-Western has received an increased episode count in Season 2. As for The Madison, the Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer-led Western is more similar to the first season of Yellowstone, which may be why it resonated so strongly with fans. The show has been picked up for second and third seasons, and while it’s unclear at this time when it will return, it’s clear that Paramount has big plans for The Madison.
One of Sheridan’s most popular shows to emerge in the last few years is Tulsa King, which has aired three full seasons and has another on the way later this year. Leading star Sylvester Stallone took to his personal Instagram not long ago to confirm that production on Tulsa King Season 4 was finished, and that the team was in the editing phase now, getting ready to deliver new episodes soon. This afternoon, news broke that Eden Lee has joined the cast of Tulsa King Season 4 in the recurring role of Maya, who is described as an “officious Chief of Staff for the Governor of Oklahoma.” Lee is best known for starring as Writer Jessica in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and she’s also famous for her work in Zero Day, Parish, and Twisted Metal.
When Does ‘Tulsa King’ Season 4 Come Out?
Paramount has yet to assign Tulsa King Season 4 an official slot on the calendar, but this news will likely come sometime over the summer, setting up the series for a premiere around September or October. Even Landman, which is just now starting to begin filming, is confirmed to return later this year, so there’s no reason why Tulsa King won’t be coming sooner rather than later. Taylor Sheridan fans will also have the third season of Lioness coming at the end of this summer, likely right before Tulsa King Season 4.
Check out the first three seasons of Tulsa King on Paramount Plus and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 4.

Days of our Lives 2-Week Spoilers May 18-29: Philip Explodes in Fury & Paulina Makes Exit!
Days of Our Lives 2-Week Spoilers for May 18-29, 2026 stun with Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) losing it and blasting somebody for their epic betrayal. Plus, Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) is packing to leave unless something drastic changes.
It’s Belinda from Soap Dirt and we’ll get into everything happening these two weeks with Philip and Gabi and Paulina, Abe and Lexie along with Xander, Kristen, and many more. But first, please click subscribe if you are not following us yet. All right, let’s get right into it.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Monday, May 18th
On Monday, May 18th, we’re going to pick up from Friday’s episode. We’re back at the Salem Inn, and Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) is working on Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) to kill EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) for her. Kristen makes him an enticing offer and she and Xander start making out and getting frisky. But it looks like things go awry with him and maybe Kristen plays a little rough because Xander’s arm or shoulder is injured and he winds up over at University Hospital looking to get it fixed. And it looks like Sarah has to treat her Xander and she may have some questions for how the injury happened.
Also picking up from Friday, Gwen is out for coffee with her ex-bestie Leo and is venting about her Xander frustrations, but she’d better tiptoe about her anger with EJ over the Versix deal because Leo would certainly pounce on that. Sarah and Brady get even closer, but I kind of suspect they’re on the road to nowhere. Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) tells Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) something that’s hard for him to hear, and I’m guessing it’s about Stephanie and her feelings about kids.
And the question is, even if she doesn’t want kids of her own, can she accept Alex and Joy Wesley‘s (AlexAnn Hopkins) daughter into her life? Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) doesn’t want Paulina worried about her biopsy just because of all the Lexie stress. Chanel already pretty much knows it’s going to be a cancer diagnosis, but she may not let Paulina know the bad news just yet.
Tuesday, May 19th
Tuesday, May 19th, Alex reassures Stephanie and they enjoy some romance, but their troubles are far from over. And Philip checks in with Joy and he’s going to see adorable little Kelsey. Obviously, Philip and Joy have some history because of his past with Chloe Lane, her big sis. Plus, little Kelsey is family to Philip as Alex’s daughter. Also, this week, Joy is hanging out with Lani in the park. So, she may be watching Trey during Chanel’s biopsy. And then, Lani tells Joy that Chanel has a lot on her plate right now and for her just to give her some space.
Meanwhile, Abe Carver (James Reynolds) thanks EJ for bringing Lexie Carver back. I wonder if EJ is going to tell Abe that Paulina has known for quite a while. And Lexie decides she wants to meet Abe’s new wife, Paulina. Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) opens up to Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez). And obviously, it’s about Lexie’s return.
Wednesday, May 20th on Days of our Lives
Wednesday, May 20th, is the last day of May sweeps. And we’re going to see Gabi making Liam an offer. I wonder if Gabi is going to dangle some sort of cash payoff if Liam agrees to dump Arianna Horton (Vico Escorcia) and not date her anymore. Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) and Belle’s long postponed date happens. They’re sitting in the town square enjoying wine when something catches their eye. Cat worries what EJ may recall if Marlena hypnotizes him.
So, we could see Cat appealing to Marlena for help. Amy is devastated and grieving her daughter Sophia Choi (Madelyn Kientz). So, we’ll have to see if her body was found downstream by then. Plus, Arianna and Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) talk about their complicated feelings about Sophia, who of course was a walking nightmare.
Thursday, May 21st
Thursday, May 21st, Xander has a suggestion for Gwen. It may be about her wanting more from Xander. Maybe he’s offering Gwen a compromise, but it looks like Xander circles back to Kristen the same day, even though he’s injured. Looks like Xander may be up for round two. Tony tries to calm his frustrated wife, Anna. She is done with Salem, but Tony wants a new CEO at DiMera Enterprises before they leave.
So, Anna’s going to go over to see Philip at Titan. And Anna tells Philip something that absolutely stuns him. Like, jaw-dropping, mouth hanging open, just stunned. So, Anna may reveal Gabi’s corporate espionage to him. We’ll see if this is something that Tony asked Anna to do or if she’s gone rogue.
Philip shares the truth with Gabi. And I wonder if Philip’s going to admit they set up Johnny with Bonnie’s book. Paulina visits with Lexie in her hospital room. Also this week, Abe is stunned when Paulina says she’s moving out. And I wonder if that comes after her chat with Lexie. Plus, Theo tells Abe that he cannot keep postponing his decision on whether he is going to leave Paulina and be with Lexie or stick with Paulina.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Friday, May 22nd
Friday, May 22nd, Xander surprises Sarah. I wonder if Xander’s new fling with Kristen is going to be found out. Sarah absolutely hates Kristen since she kidnapped her, stashed her on that island, drugged her, and really screwed up her life. So Xander sleeping with Kristen is so much worse than him sexing up Gwen. Gabi makes a confession. She may be forced to tell her boyfriend, Philip, the truth. Philip tells Gabi that he’s done and he wants nothing more to do with her. He tells her, “Pack your things and get the hell out.”
Philip is raging at Gabi outside the Bistro. However, there’s a chance this Philip tantrum may just be Gabi having a little terrified daydream. We’ll see because you know how Days of Our Lives likes to fake us out sometimes with stuff in the promo that isn’t real. Anna and Tony are in the square staring at a scene. So maybe the thing with Philip raging at Gabi is real because Anna does go see Philip this week and says something shocking and then Tony may swoop in.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Kayla’s 40th Anniversary in Salem
Kayla reminisces with Steve about their decades-long romance. We’ll be getting lots of classic scenes of their love story, including when they brought baby Stephanie home. This is Kayla’s 40th anniversary in Salem, so it is a huge milestone for Mary Beth Evans. Steve wants to know if Kayla is ready for another adventure and she says with him at her side, yes. Gwen is taken off guard when her dad Jack Deveraux pops up at the Salem Inn. He and Gwen have been doing a little better, but of course his wife Jennifer still can’t stand Gwen.
Plus, we’re just a few weeks away from the fourth anniversary of Abby’s death. So maybe it’s related to that. But Gwen is stunned and asked Jack why he’s there. And he may not be thrilled that Gwen’s back involved with Xander. And I do wonder if Jack is looking to rebuild a relationship with Gwen or this may be something to do with Lexie’s return. If Jack has any inkling that Gwen was working with EJ, he may also want to know if Abby might be resurrected. Stephanie checks in on Alex. Their troubles seem to be far from over despite their best efforts.
Week of May 25th-29th
Then we have the week of May 25th through the 29th. We are going to have Memorial Day in Salem. We’ll see if there’s any big barbecues or fireworks or trips to the lake. I’m also wondering if people are celebrating and Sophia’s corpse just washes up because we need some closure. Jack may ask Gwen for help. He may want her to snoop around and see if Abigail’s in a person pod since he and Chad exhumed her grave and Abby’s remains are not there.
Chad already talked to EJ about the possibility of resurrecting Abby and he said that it can’t happen, but that may be a lie. Eli is overdue to join Lani and the twins in Salem. Ari may lose Liam because of Gabi’s scheme, but if she does pay him off to dump her daughter and Ari finds out, she’s obviously going to lose it on Gabi.
Lexie gets more visitors as old friends can’t wait to see her back to the land of the living. I expect that Marlena, Kayla, Roman, and others are all going to want to see her. And of course, her little brother EJ will stop by to explain exactly what he did and how much he’s happy that she’s back. Gabi may need some comfort from Theo. And Amy keeps pressing for justice for Sophia as Kristen remains getting away with murder.
Anderson Cooper said goodbye to 60 Minutes after 20 years as one of the show’s correspondents.
“There’s very few things that have been around for as long as 60 Minutes has and [have been able to] maintain the quality that it has,” Cooper, 58, said during his final show in May 2026. “Things can always evolve and change, and I think that’s awesome, and things should evolve and change, but I hope the core of what 60 Minutes is always remains.”
60 Minutes debuted on CBS in 1968. Cooper took on his role as one of the show’s main correspondents in 2006. He confirmed his exit from the show in February 2026.
“Being a correspondent at 60 Minutes has been one of the great honors of my career,” Cooper told Variety in a statement at the time. “I got to tell amazing stories, and work with some of the best producers, editors and camera crews in the business.”
He added, “For nearly 20 years, I’ve been able to balance my jobs at CNN and CBS, but I have little kids now and I want to spend as much time with them as possible, while they still want to spend time with me.”
Keep scrolling for everything to know about Cooper’s departure from 60 Minutes:
Why Did Anderson Cooper Leave ‘60 Minutes’?
Cooper’s February 2026 statement explained the reason for his departure. The journalist shared that he wanted to spend more time with sons Wyatt, 6, and Sebastian, 4, whom he coparents with ex Benjamin Maisani.
When Was Anderson Cooper’s Final Episode of ‘60 Minutes’?
The journalist said his final goodbye to the show on May 17, 2026.
“I think the independence of 60 Minutes has been critical. I think the trust it has with viewers is critical to the success of 60 Minutes,” Cooper said as part of his farewell speech. “When you see a 60 Minutes story, and you’re like, ‘That was a really good story,’ it was a good story because it requires time, it requires patience, it requires money.”
He added, “I hope that’s known and honored and valued and continues.”
Was ‘60 Minutes’ Anderson Cooper’s Only Job?
No, he made that clear during his final episode on the show.
“The whole time I’ve done pieces on 60 Minutes, my full-time job has been over at CNN, and still is,” he explained. “It’s been really challenging to do the kind of work you need to do to have a great 60 Minutes piece on.”
Cooper noted that CNN “doesn’t like it” if he took time off for 60 Minutes.
“I’ve worked mostly for 60 Minutes on weekends,” he added. “My vacation time at CNN has been working on 60 Minutes pieces. I’ve loved it, but it’s been tough.”
Cooper will continue to host his daily show Anderson Cooper 360° on CNN.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Barbra Streisand chose comfort over her big day at the Cannes Film Festival.
The actress revealed that a concerning health issue has prevented her from attending the annual event in person to receive a well-deserved award.
Barbra Streisand was in the news recently following criticism of her 2026 Oscar performance, where fans claimed her once-powerhouse vocals were gone.
The octogenarian shared in a statement from Sunday, May 18, that due to an ongoing knee injury, she would not be present at the Cannes Film Festival, where she is receiving an honorary Palme d’Or award.
She affirmed that her absence would be on the advice of her doctors as she continues to recover from the injury.
Despite this, Streisand reiterated in the statement that she feels honored to receive the award and had been looking forward to celebrating iconic movies at the 79th edition of the event.
“I was also very much looking forward to spending time with colleagues whom I so admire and, of course, returning to France, a place I have always loved,” she continued.
The singer extended her warm congratulations to all the filmmakers around the world who would be present at the event to showcase their extraordinary talent and creative vision.
As shared by the Festival de Cannes, she also thanked the festival organizers, who continue to lend a voice and support the art of cinema.
Cannes Festival Showered Accolades On The Filmmaker’s Journey
At the event, attendees will witness a celebration of Streisand’s significant decades-long contribution as part of the closing ceremony.
However, the singer’s statement was not received in silence; Iris Knobloch, Thierry Frémaux, and the entire festival team sent Streisand their warmest wishes for a prompt recovery.
In their announcement for Streisand’s honors, the festival praised the actress as a “dazzling actress, an unparalleled singer, a force of nature, humor, and sensuality.”
The musician has a few career achievements on her radar, including 150 million records sold worldwide and being the only artist to score a number-one album across six consecutive decades from the 1960s to the 2010s.
She also won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her debut feature film, “Funny Girl,” and clinched a second Oscar for composing the love theme “Evergreen” for “A Star Is Born.”
Barbra Streisand’s Reaction To The Criticism Surrounding Her Oscars Performance
The Golden Globes winner belted out a sonorous tune in honor of Robert Redford, who died last year at the recently concluded Oscars, alongside a touching speech.
As shared by The Blast, Streisand performed a song from their 1973 film, and the fans’ reception lit another fire in her.
Several narratives reported that the actress’s voice no longer sounded the same, prompting her to consider quitting live performances for good.
Although she reportedly does not care about the overwhelming comments, she also knows there might be some truth in them.
A source close to the singer also explained that Streisand is not considering the financial side of turning down live performances, as the fading vocals are not good optics for her career.
The insider continued that she would rather be remembered at her best than be compared to a version of herself from 50 years ago.
As for the tour part of her career, the source added that the chapter is closed for good, but fans can look forward to the superstar’s recorded music.
The EGOT Winner’s Tribute Caught Jane Fonda’s Attention
Streisand’s performance attracted criticism, not only from internet users but also from her colleague, who felt she deserved the spot on that stage instead of the musician.
The Blast noted that Fonda referenced her long working history, appearing in movies like “Tall Story,” “The Chase,” “Barefoot in the Park,” and “The Electric Horseman.”
She reiterated that while Streisand has only one movie with Redford, she has four, and their collaborations definitely went beyond just creative partnerships.
According to Fonda, she was always in love with him and in admiration of his character and influence in the film industry.
In her words, “[He was] the most gorgeous human being and had such great values. He did a lot for movies — he lifted up independent movies.”
During the tribute, Streisand praised Redford for being so thoughtful and bold, who blazed the trail and left a vacuum in people’s hearts with his absence.
Barbra Streisand Has Been Absent On Movie Screens For Over A Decade
The actress said in 2023 that she no longer has the energy to take on movie roles, and in 11 years, she has lost interest in appearing in any project.
She continued that the challenges of navigating film projects have made it exhausting, especially trying to create the movie’s structure and actually making it happen.
She continued in the interview that if making movies for her were easy, she would have never written a book, but the stress of bringing a movie project to life made it exhausting for her to begin one.
In another interview, Streisand added that throughout her career, her strong attitude has rattled men because she wanted more bite from the cake.
The actress continued that she always wanted to do more, to direct, to produce, to make creative decisions void of any external influence.
Spencer Pratt plans to leave Los Angeles if he loses the city’s mayoral race.
“I’m going to win the lawsuit against Gavin Newsom’s state park, and with that money, if I’m the mayor of Los Angeles, I will rebuild,” Pratt, 42, told comedian Adam Carolla in a video shared via social media on Saturday, May 16. “If Karen Bass gets reelected or Nithya [Raman] gets elected, I will be done with trying to live in L.A.”
He continued, “I’ll take that money from the Newsom state park and the LADWP [Los Angeles Department of Water and Power], and I’ll go somewhere that my kids will not have to see naked zombies, and I can have the last American dream somewhere.”
Pratt made it clear that he will “not rebuild” if anyone else is running the city.
“What would I be putting money into?” he wondered.
Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag (with whom he shares sons Gunnar, 8, and Ryker, 3), along with several other L.A. property owners, have launched a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles and the LADWP in the aftermath of the January 2025 Palisades Fire. The wildfire left Pratt and Montag displaced after their house burned down.
Pratt announced his mayoral bid this past January while attending the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration, one year after the Palisades Fire.
“The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling; it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt said. “It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with, while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash.”
Spencer Pratt shut down recent claims about his family’s living arrangements. “Hey guys, why don’t they wanna talk about why I need a hotel in the first place?” Pratt, 42, wrote via X on Wednesday, April 13, responding to a TMZ report claiming that the Hills alum and wife Heidi Montag are currently residing at […]
He added, “Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action. This just isn’t a campaign; this is a mission, and we’re gonna expose the system.”
Pratt spoke to Us Weekly exclusively about his plans to run for mayor after announcing his candidacy.
“The only way I see God letting my parents’ house burn down and my house burn down is that God knows it’s the only way to turn me against a system that lets this happen to tens of thousands of people,” Pratt said in his January cover story. “In a best-case scenario, I would have helped at least 10,000 people to get 70 percent of what they got taken from them. That would be poetic.”
The Hills alum added, “Winning the mayor’s race will be a victory for truth and transparency, which is what I’ve been fighting for this whole year. The end goal is the same: to shine a light into the darkness.”

Before Karrueche Tran Turned Heads In Her Polka-Dot Swimsuit For Her 38th Birthday, She Had The Internet Crackin’ UP
Before Karrueche Tran turned heads in her polka-dot swimsuit, she had the internet crackin’ UP at her facial expressions while shopping overseas with Deion Sanders. As The Shade Room previously reported, the pair were in the Virgin Islands when Sanders ushered her into a boutique. Once inside, Tran saw what appeared to be knockoff luxury goods, and Sanders joked that she could grab whatever she wanted.
As the clip rolled and the camera followed Tran’s reaction, she humorously made it clear that she wouldn’t be leaving the shop with anything.
