Reese Witherspoon made the world premiere of Elle a family affair!

The Oscar winner, 50, was joined by her son, Deacon Phillippe, on the red carpet Tuesday, June 23, at the New York City premiere of her new Legally Blonde prequel series.

Witherspoon, who shares son Deacon, 22, and daughter Ava, 26, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, stunned in a pink gown with lace floral detailing. Deacon looked suave in a black suit and matched his mom with a pink tie.

Deacon has followed his mom and dad’s acting footsteps, even starring alongside Ryan, 51, in the coming-of-age drama Motorheads, which aired on Amazon Prime Video in 2025.

While Reese Witherspoon has an expansive résumé, she touts parenthood as one of her greatest achievements. The Legally Blonde star first became a mother in September 1999, welcoming daughter Ava with then-husband Ryan Phillippe. The duo — who were married between 1999 and 2006 — then welcomed son Deacon in October 2003. Thank You! You […]

“It’s so unique to be in a situation like this where you’re both working on a show with really good people,” Ryan exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2025. “It definitely wasn’t lost on either of us.”

“There were times when we would look at each other and just be like, ‘Can you believe that we’re actually doing this?’” he added.

Costar Nathalie Kelly told Us, “[Deacon is] the most charismatic, polite, thoughtful young man I have ever met.”

“I’m like, wow! If this is what the new generation of men are coming out, looking like, sounding like, acting like, then I feel more at ease about the future of our species,” she continued. “Honestly, what an incredible young man.”

“I think it was [Deacon’s] first major acting role, and super sweet to see the father-son dynamic and how proud Ryan was,” Kelley added. “Ryan was trying to navigate how much to interfere and how much to let him be in his own process. I learned a lot from having my own kids on the show, from observing Ryan as a father and just realizing, like, how beautiful that the cycle of life is.”

Witherspoon and Phillippe first began dating in 1997, before costarring in Cruel Intentions. They got married in 1999, but announced their separation in 2006. Their divorce was finalized a year later.

Despite ending things, a source exclusively told Us in April that the former couple remains close. In fact, they both attended Deacon’s graduation from New York University last month.

Actor Nicolas Cage is best known for his film roles like “Con Air,” “Face/Off,” and “National Treasure.” More recently, he’s appeared in movies like “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” “Pig,” and “Longlegs.” However, he recently starred in “Spider-Noir,” a neo-noir superhero series based on the Marvel comic. Even though it surprised some of his fans to see him in a TV show, Cage admitted that he’s always been “friendly to streaming” even before it went mainstream.

While promoting “Spider-Noir,” Cage sat down with Deadline to talk about his role in the show. The publication noted that this can be considered his first major TV role, despite his decades of acting experience. When asked if he would consider more streaming roles in the future, Cage admitted that he has always been open to streaming.

“I was friendly to streaming a long time ago, before it was cool. [The media would say], ‘Oh, he’s doing straight-to-streaming movies,’ like it was unheard of, like, shame on me,” he explained. “But now, everything is going that way. It’s like when Halston went to make dresses for JCPenney, and they dumped him, and the snobs dialed him out. Now everybody does it. “

Cage Opens Up On The Benefits Of Streaming

Fans who go to a movie theater to watch a movie can only see it once before they have to pay for another ticket. With streaming, fans can watch the movie multiple times and pick up on things they may not have grasped the first time around. To Cage, this is a major benefit to streaming movies.

“It’s like I know that I discovered that if I make a movie that streams, it will become part of a collection and someone who enjoys downloading movies will be able to view it and re-view it,” he said. “And I like to do that. I always like watching things multiple times and learning something new from a movie, mainly Stanley Kubrick movies.”

He went on to say, “But anyway, I knew streaming would ultimately keep actors working and keep the work viewable. So, I navigated that, but it wasn’t cool when I started doing it.”

Nicolas Cage Is Starring In The ‘Madden’ Biopic

“Madden” is an upcoming sports biopic directed by David O. Russell. He co-wrote the film based on an earlier version created by Cambron Clark. The movie will follow the life of football coach and commentator John Madden, who will be portrayed by Cage. The biopic will also star an A-list cast of Christian Bale, Kathryn Hahn, John Mulaney, Shane Gillis, and Sienna Miller. “Madden” is scheduled to be released on Amazon Prime Video on November 26, 2026.

When speaking to Deadline about his role in “Madden,” he admitted that it was “a bit of a learning curve” and a “fast cut.”

“When you do a season of television, it’s equivalent to making four movies back-to-back. It’s a lot. So, I was talking like an old-world film noir actor for a long time and then suddenly David O. Russell is inviting me to play this famous football coach, who was also a TV personality, who had a very specific way of talking, nothing like a film noir actor,” Cage said, adding, “And frankly, nothing like me.”

Nicolas Cage Admits He Has ‘Nothing In Common’ With John Madden

Cage went on to confess that he had “nothing in common with John Madden” and found that the greatest “challenge” in accepting the role.

“But when we rehearsed, David tried to help me find the voice, and I said to him, ‘It may not be anatomically possible, OK?’” he said with a laugh. “So, I figured that maybe we’d just make a cocktail of the John Madden sound with a little of this and that, and we’ll reintroduce something of my version of his voice.”

During the interview, Cage also touched on the roles that he is most known for. He revealed that he was recently in New Orleans when a fan approached him to comment on his role in “Gone in 60 Seconds.” Otherwise, he feels that he is best recognized for his roles in “Face/Off” and the “National Treasure” franchise.

When asked about the “Pig fanboys,” Cage joked, “They’re always following me around.”

R&B singer Muni Long is opening up about undergoing a double lung transplant after being told she had just one week to live.

Long, 37, said she fell ill and was diagnosed with pneumonia while performing on Brandy and Monica’s The Boy Is Mine Tour last year.

“The road is tough, even when you are healthy. I should have never taken that tour, but there was so much going on in my life where I had to do it,” Long, who suffers from lupus, explained during a Tuesday, June 23, appearance on Good Morning America.

Long said she took a brief hiatus from the tour but later returned. That’s when she started to feel worse.

“I think maybe about five or six dates in … I couldn’t even get out of the bed to make my call time for the stage, and the last show, I just barely made it,” she shared. “I was only able to do two songs and my my team and my family were like, ‘You just need to come home and rest.’”

The “Hrs and Hrs” singer said she woke up in the hospital after Thanksgiving, where doctors gave her the news that her lungs needed to be replaced.

“I knew for a really long time that something was wrong … every day I’m like spitting in cups and coughing all the time,” she said, adding that she was “huffing and puffing like I just ran a marathon.”

“[The doctors were] like you need a transplant, and I’m like, ‘Well, it sounds like you guys have a time … like how long do I have to live?’ and they go, ‘A week.’ My jaw dropped. They’re kind of like, ‘Hey, this is not a joke. You need to make a choice. You can either go to hospice or you can get these lungs.’”

Long, who has a young son, said that she is now on the road to recovery, though she isn’t able to perform just yet.

“I look at my son and I think about, like, how much more life that I have to live, and I think just quality of life was first, like, I can’t sing if I’m not here,” she said.

“I [am] six months post-op. Tomorrow’s my last appointment for all the things,” Long continued. “[I’m] asymptomatic, no infections, none of that, and then I have my vocal checkup in August because I had to have vocal surgery as well.”

Long said she’s feeling “fabulous” and advised other people in a similar situation to take care of themselves.

“If there’s anybody watching this, I would say I think the bulk of my trauma came from just holding everything in, trying to shoulder everybody else’s problems, always being the strong friend, the one who has it all together,” she said. “I did not speak up for myself as I should [have]. Don’t put yourself on the back burner for everyone else. You need to focus on you. You need to pour into yourself. Don’t be afraid to say no. Rest if you need to.”

“I was really faced with my mortality, and I thought to myself, ‘Have I really served myself the way that I should? Have I really given to myself the way I give to others?’ And the answer was no,” Long added. “So this time around I’m definitely going to be a little bit more selfish. I’m gonna take care of myself first so that I can take care of everybody else.”

Neighbors has been largely forgotten for decades, but this was the last film made by John Belushi before his death. It also reunited Belushi with his Blues Brothers costar, Dan Aykroyd, one last time as they essentially traded their comic personas. For this story, Belushi played the uptight Earl Keese and Aykroyd was the unhinged Victor “Vic” Zeck.

Earl’s life with his wife, Enid (Kathryn Walker), was uneventful until Vic and his wife, Ramona (Cathy Moriarty), moved in next door. Suddenly, things are getting too interesting in the neighborhood, and Earl openly distrusts the Zecks. But everyone around Earl thinks he’s overreacting to the new additions.

Neighbors is streaming on Hulu.

Just months after the end of a long-term engagement, Yolanda Hadid is preparing to walk down the aisle again. 

The former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star has reportedly accepted a surprise proposal from businessman Randy Kendrick, marking a dramatic new chapter in her love life. 

For fans who watched her previous relationships unfold in the public eye, the news comes as a shock, especially given how quietly this latest romance developed behind the scenes.

Yolanda Hadid is reportedly engaged to real estate developer Randy Kendrick, less than two years after the end of her previous relationship.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Kendrick popped the question earlier this week, and Yolanda happily accepted.

The engagement marks a significant milestone for the former model and reality television star, whose romantic life has often attracted public attention. This will be her third marriage if the couple ultimately makes it down the aisle.

The timing has surprised many fans because Yolanda only recently ended her engagement to longtime boyfriend Joseph Jingoli. 

Inside Yolanda And Jingoli’s Romance And Split

Yolanda Hadid and Joseph Jingoli quietly ended their engagement after more than six years together, bringing an end to one of the former reality star’s most private relationships. 

News of the split surfaced in June 2025, though sources revealed the couple had actually gone their separate ways months earlier, in January. 

According to a report from The Blast, the breakup was amicable, with the pair choosing to remain friends despite ending their engagement. “They remain friends and have nothing but fond memories of their time together,” a source revealed. 

Yolanda and Jingoli first met in 2017 after she relocated to Pennsylvania following her divorce from music producer David Foster. 

Their romance blossomed away from the spotlight, leading to a secret engagement in 2022 during a trip to Holland. 

The engagement remained private until 2024 when Yolanda casually referred to Jingoli as her fiancé. Despite their split, sources said there was no bad blood between them as both moved forward separately.

Yolanda Hadid Keeps Romance With Randy Kendrick Under Wraps

Yolanda appears ready to begin an entirely new chapter. Unlike many celebrity relationships, her romance with Kendrick has largely stayed out of the spotlight.

While details about their relationship remain scarce, sources say the couple has quietly built a strong connection away from public scrutiny.

Kendrick is best known as the founder and CEO of Xebec, a company that describes itself as “a national logistics real estate platform.”

His business portfolio extends beyond logistics. In 2021, he also became CEO of Sandow Lakes Ranch Venture, LLC, a massive Texas-based development spanning 33,000 acres. 

The project includes plans for manufacturing and logistics facilities and boasts extensive water rights holdings throughout the state.

Despite his business success, Kendrick has largely avoided the celebrity spotlight, making his relationship with Hadid even more intriguing.

Yolanda’s Future Husband Has A Passion Beyond Real Estate

While Randy Kendrick has built a career in real estate development, business is only part of his story. 

In an interview with D Magazine last year, he revealed that he had known he wanted to become a developer since high school.

Away from work, however, music remains one of his greatest passions. Kendrick shared that he enjoys collecting “vintage guitars” and spending his free time “cooking for my family and playing guitar.”

His love of music stretches back decades. “If you saw the Elvis movie, when he played his first concert at the International Hotel, six-year-old Randy Kendrick was in the front row next to Elvis’s mom and Priscilla Presley at that concert,” he recalled.

Yolanda Hadid Has Experienced Love, Loss, And Reinvention Before

This latest engagement adds another chapter to a romantic history that has included two previous marriages.

Yolanda first married real estate developer Mohamed Hadid in 1994. Together, they welcomed three children,  Gigi, Bella, and Anwar Hadid, before divorcing in 2000.

Her children would later become some of the most recognizable names in fashion and entertainment. 

Years later, Yolanda found love again with music producer David Foster. The pair married in 2011, becoming one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples at the time. However, the marriage ended in 2015, with their divorce finalized two years later.

Since then, she has navigated public breakups, health struggles, and major life transitions while continuing to reinvent herself.

Internet users are sending well wishes after Muni Long recently revealed that she underwent a double lung transplant.

Muni Long Revealed She Underwent A Double Lung Transplant

According to PEOPLE, Muni Long appeared on ‘Good Morning America’ earlier this week. During her appearance, she reflected on joining Monica and Brandy’s ‘The Boy Is Mine’ tour last year and running into health concerns.

“I should have never taken that tour. But there was so much going on in my life where I had to do it,” she said.

Long, who was diagnosed with lupus in 2014, revealed that she fell ill while on the tour and was diagnosed with pneumonia. For Thanksgiving, she went home, and then woke up to herself in the hospital. There, doctors reportedly told her that she needed a double lung transplant.

“I knew for a really long time that something was wrong. Every day I’m, like, spitting in cups and coughing all the time. Trying to take all these medicines to get through the day,” she recalled.

Then, doctors told her that she only had a week to live.

“My jaw dropped. Literally. I was like, ‘That’s rude.’ But they were kind of like, ‘This is not a joke. You need to make a choice. You can either go to hospice, or you can get these lungs,’” she added.

Ultimately, Long underwent the procedure and is now feeling “fabulous.”

“Tomorrow is my last appointment for all the things. No symptoms. Asymptomatic. No infections. None of that. Then I have my vocal checkup, six months will be in August because I had to have vocal surgery, as well… My voice now is totally different. It’s actually better, should I say? But I don’t know that I can perform yet. They gave me six months to a year,” she said.

I’ll truly miss seeing you all out there, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity. Thank you to Brandy and Monica for having me and sharing the stage with me. I can’t wait to see you all again. Stronger than ever”

Band of Brothers actor Iain Robertson has been found guilty of rape following a trial in Scotland.

Robertson, 45, was convicted Tuesday, June 23, on five offenses, including rape and domestic abuse, against three women between 2004 and 2019, reported the BBC.

The Scottish actor appeared in HBO’s acclaimed Band of Brothers and is best known for playing Stevie O’Hara in the BBC soap opera River City.

A jury at the High Court in Glasgow heard how Robertson allegedly raped a woman whom he met on the set of River City sometime between 2018 and 2019.

Rapper Mystikal has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to rape. Local ABC affiliate WBRZ reported that Mystikal (real name Michael Tyler) appeared in court on Tuesday, June 16, to receive his sentencing. The rapper, 55, was accused of raping a woman in his Prairieville, Louisiana, home back in 2022, to […]

The woman testified that she did not want a romantic relationship with the actor but that they did become intimate at one point. She later told Robertson that she wanted to return to a platonic relationship, per the BBC.

“It was a long back and forth. Iain was convinced I was in denial about having feelings for him and in denial about what I wanted,” she said. “I do not think he believed me.”

The woman added that she felt her “boundaries were being ignored.”

She said she was sexually assaulted after staying at Robertson’s home in Glasgow. The woman claimed she planned to sleep on the sofa, but that the actor said she could join him in his bed and “nothing would happen.”

The woman said that Robertson then “had sex” with her. “I was lying down, I was very limp and he went on top of me,” she described the incident, which she said was nonconsensual.

Another woman testified that the actor “lunged” at her during an argument in 2014, reported the BBC. She said, “I thought he was going to hit me.”

Robertson was convicted of assault in connection with the second woman but cleared a second charge.

The woman, who is also an actor, said Robertson called her and left voicemails in an “obsessive” manner and sent snack boxes to theaters at which she was performing.

Giving evidence earlier in the trial, Robertson said he was “no angel” but denied all of the charges against him.

“I am aware to know if the person is not as present as I am in what we are doing,” he said of the rape allegation. “I am sensitive enough to be aware there are non-verbal ways to communicate.”

“It would be something I would not participate in at all,” he added.
