Season 5 of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test got off to a dramatic start when one celebrity had to medically withdraw — and now they are speaking out about the exit.

The Thursday, September 24, premiere presented contestants with the challenge of jumping out of a helicopter headfirst into the ocean. They then had to swim back to the dock quickly, which proved to be a challenge for several recruits, and Brandi Glanville suffered lasting medical issues that led to her dismissal.

“I over-rotated. I know it felt like my head hit the water, and it was so hard,” Glanville exclusively told Us of her instant reaction. “It was like immediately I was dizzy and I thought my whole body was in the water. Then my body hits the water after that. It was just like being run over by a truck.”

Glanville recalled continuing to struggle, adding, “It was crazy, and then I came up and I’m trying to swim. My whole body is in pain. My right arm is the only thing I can use, and I have all the water kicking up from the jet skis. So I’m drinking the water and I’m thinking, ‘Parasites!’ That’s all I can think about. Like, what is happening in my mouth?”

It is never easy to unexpectedly say goodbye to your favorite characters — and 2026 has featured an influx of shocking departures on our TV screens from Grey’s Anatomy to Virgin River. Virgin River fans were surprised when showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed multiple characters were written off the show after season 7. Marco Grazzini addressed […]

As soon as she got back on land, Glanville felt several injuries.

“Everyone kept touching me. And even just touching my back, it hurt. I was spinning. I couldn’t hear out of my left ear immediately. I was about to throw up, but then the camera guy was in my face, and I’m like, ‘You’re not getting this from me,’” she explained. “So I sat down, and they’re like, ‘Stand up!’ I’m like, ‘I cannot stand up. I will pass out and hit my head.’”

Glanville continued: “Of course I’m thinking all these crazy things, but everyone seemed to go through it really easily. Like, I was the second one to do it, and I’m watching all these girls go do it, and I’m like, ‘Am I just a disaster? Why can’t I do it like everyone else?’”

After departing the show, Glanville still struggled.

“It’s hard to turn [my arm]. Then my left boob is under my armpit, so that’s fun. And you’d have to fix that. But I hit the water really hard,” she noted. “We had to take boats because of my ear to the hospital, so we took three separate boats. We got to the hospital, and you cannot fly. I had a concussion and a perforated eardrum and all of these things. I had the worst headache where it just doesn’t go away.”

Glanville clarified that she was “on the mend,” adding, “I think that there are still just moments where I’m feeling like I’m an old lady to do that. We don’t recover like we used to. I mean, if I was 20, I really would have liked to dive and swim out of there.”

While Glanville didn’t make it to the end, she expressed pride in how far she got.

“I’m, like, so proud that I just didn’t give up and I just didn’t want to be the first one out. Obviously no one really wants to be,” she told Us. “I wanted to prove to my kids I could do it, but I had to go to the doctor. I was done. But I think that this still proves to the kids that I was kind of a badass.”

Glanville — who dealt with years of unrelated health issues prior to competing on Special Forces — shares two sons, Mason, 23, and Jake, 19, with her ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian.

Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 5 airs on Fox Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Finding pants that flatter a petite frame can be tricky, but Kyle Richards just reminded Us how much difference the right silhouette can make. A fitted shape with a subtle flare can visually lengthen the legs, especially when paired with a little extra height underneath. It’s an easy styling trick we’re ready to copy this fall.

The 5-foot-2 star was recently spotted around Los Angeles wearing black bootcut pants with a lace cami and platform shoes. The sleek, slightly flared silhouette made her legs look miles long without requiring sky-high heels. While her exact pair remains a mystery, we found a similar style for $20 on Amazon.

Petite shoppers are impressed with the fit, too. One 5-foot-1 reviewer said the pants “fit so perfectly,” adding that “even the length is great” — a rare win for anyone accustomed to immediately hemming new trousers.

The pants come in classic black like Richards’ pair, along with brown, navy and several other shades, in sizes XS to XXL. Another shopper liked them enough to buy them in “4 different colors,” calling the pants “very slimming and classy looking.”

Copy Richards’ leg-lengthening look by pairing the black pants with a lace cami and platforms, or add a fitted blouse for the office. The subtle flare makes them an easy way to create the illusion of longer legs while still feeling comfortable and wearable.

Dakota Johnson is never one to shy away from the sheer dress trend.

Attending the London premiere of Verity on Thursday, September 24, the actress, 36, opted for a racy number as she rocked the red carpet.

For the star-studded event, Johnson donned a daring beige lace dress designed by Colleen Allen that offered a peek at her black lingerie by Fleur du Mal underneath.

Johnson’s see-through look also featured intricate lace detailing and a figure-skimming silhouette. She kept the rest of her look relatively understated, letting the sheer dress take center stage.

Speaking to Vogue Germany in October 2025, Johnson admitted she is not fazed about baring some skin. Asked by the outlet whether she ever feels as though wearing naked dresses is  “too sexy,” she responded, “I really don’t care.”

“I’ve been able to wear some of the most beautiful dresses, and I feel beautiful in them, so I wear them,” the actress said.

She further added, “If I find a beautiful dress that I feel comfortable in, of course I want to wear it! And it’s fun to wear a sexy dress.”

In the interview, Johnson explained that her famous mom, Melanie Griffith, “was very open about the topic of bodies.” Her mom’s attitude led her to feel confident while growing up, she noted.

“She taught us how to take care of our bodies and love them, and that our bodies are beautiful,” she said.

Johnson stepped out for the premiere as part of the press tour for her new film Verity, a psychological thriller based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel. She stars alongside Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett.

The story follows budding writer Lowen (Johnson) who meets a wealthy man named Jeremy (Hartnett) while on the way to a publisher meeting, but her plans get derailed after she watches a biker get hit by a car. Unbeknownst to her, Jeremy is who she has the meeting with. Jeremy taps Lowen to be his incapacitated — or maybe not — wife Verity’s (Hathaway) ghostwriter.

The Materialists actress, 35, stepped out in a sheer black Gucci dress on Thursday, September 11, as she attended the Kering Foundation’s annual Caring for Women dinner at The Pool in New York City. Johnson’s barely-there look was embroidered […]

Johnson’s red carpet turn comes after Us confirmed that she and Machine Gun Kelly recently went on a first date at mutual friend Taylor Swift’s apartment in New York City.

“They hit it off and wanted some privacy,” a source exclusively told Us earlier this month. “So, Dakota contacted Taylor, and Taylor said she wasn’t home, so they could use her place. Apparently, Taylor lets her close friends use her place when she’s away.”

Both Johnson and MGK have kept tight-lipped on the blossoming romance so far. The date comes after they both returned to the dating scene after splitting from Role Model and Megan Fox, respectively. Johnson previously dated Coldplay’s Chris Martin for almost eight years until they called it quits in June 2025.

Kim Kardashian is taking her producing talents to a new network, partnering with Paramount+ to bring viewers a new series called “Team Moms: Baseball.” The reality show follows a group of intense mothers of sons who attend an elite baseball training school in Arizona. Like Lifetime’s “Dance Moms,” the new Paramount series will feature tears and plenty of drama. In a new interview, Kim opened up about her role in the show and spilled the beans on how the production came to be.

Kim Kardashian Says New Reality Show Began As A Joke

Speaking to PEOPLE alongside her co-executive producer, Natalie Ento, Kim shared some behind-the-scenes details about the series and shed light on how the show originated.

“Every year, we take our kids on some sports adventure together,” Kim said. “Three years ago, we were in Spain; we were at a soccer tournament. Natalie’s a coach, so she was coming back, venting about stories and crazy situations and intense parents, passionate parents. And we kind of joked and said, ‘This would be such a riveting reality show. It would be insane.”

After working on the idea, Kim said she and Ento brought the show to various networks and said: “Everyone jumped on it.”

While networks were bidding on the series, Kim and Ento debated between following “soccer parents” or “basketball moms,” saying both could have bold personalities. After much back-and-forth, though, the pair settled on baseball.

Kim Kardashian Knew There Was A Show Behind Baseball Moms

“Team Moms” premieres tonight, September 24, and follows seven families: the Baldris, the Dunmars, the Feldhackers, the Mears, the Scoffones, the Taylors, and the Wolcziks.

In a press release about the new series, Kim said she could tell there was something special about the group of moms they found for the show.

“We knew immediately there was something special about this world. These families are passionate, competitive, and completely all in when it comes to their kids—and sometimes what happens in the stands is just as intense as what happens on the field. That’s what makes ‘Team Moms: Baseball’ so much fun to watch,” she said.

Khloé Kardashian Is Also Producing Shows

Kim isn’t the only Kardashian in her producer bag, according to The Blast. Khloé Kardashian recently announced her new series, “The Girls,” featuring her personal crew of besties, including Malika and Khadijah Haqq.

While speaking about the show, Khloé said that the cast were her “chosen family” and her “incredible inner circle of real-life besties.” She also praised them as “moms and moguls” before finishing with, “They’re my girls.”

Kim Starred In A Scripted Hulu Show

Before producing “Team Moms,” Kim shifted from filming her family’s reality show to partnering with Ryan Murphy to appear in his scripted legal drama, “All’s Fair.” The show follows an all-female group of high-powered divorce attorneys with Kim’s character, Allura Grant, at the center. She co-founded her boutique firm after leaving a male-dominated practice that cast women aside.

In a previous interview, Kim said she based her character on her family’s real-life lawyer, Laura Wasser.

“We consulted with her. It was just so important to have someone that I could want to channel and want to feel. And that was Laura, who’s just like a badass woman that takes care of other women,” Kim said before going on to praise the show, which also stars Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, and Glenn Close.

“I love these women,” the SKIMS founder added. “We learned a lot together. I learned a lot from them showing up and coming on set every single day and just seeing them work and seeing what they do. They are the best at what they do. That was the best lesson I could have learned.”

Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber have George Clooney and his wife, Amal, by their side as they deal with the devastating loss of their only son, Presley Gerber.

The model’s 27-year-old boy passed away earlier this week due to an apparent overdose and cardiac arrest while in a rehab facility in Los Angeles.

As the tragic situation unfolds, more light has been shed on the bond Clooney shared with the late Presley that went beyond being just his parents’ friend.

George Clooney And Amal Making Sure Cindy Crawford And Rande Gerber Aren’t ‘Alone’

Barely a week after Presley’s death, sources say Crawford and her husband have been surrounded by close Hollywood friends to help them through the shattering experience.

“George, Amal [Clooney], and a few of their other close friends have been taking shifts staying with the family so they aren’t alone,” an insider revealed to People Magazine. “George and Amal joined the family in Los Angeles after learning of Presley’s death.”

It’s no surprise the Clooneys ditched whatever they had going on to be there for the heartbroken parents, as the “Ocean’s Eleven” actor and Rande have been tight buds for decades. They co-founded the tequila brand Casamigos with Mike Meldman in 2013.

Describing George as “family,” the source noted that the actor has wasted no time helping with funeral arrangements and emotional encouragement. “George has always been very close with both Kaia and Presley,” added the informant.

The Actor Had A Quiet Role In Late Presley Gerber’s Life

5

The Hollywood star’s bond with the model and businessman extends to their two children, Presley and Kaia, as he was fondly referred to as “Uncle George.”

He was particularly close to the late Presley amid his addiction and mental health struggles, offering him encouragement whenever he felt down.

“George is completely shattered by Presley’s death. He’s known him his entire life, and he never imagined things would ever get to this point,” a source said about the sad situation, per The Blast.

Inside George Clooney’s Heartbreaking Messages With Late Presley

Presley was pronounced dead on September 20 after paramedics responded to a 911 call for a cardiac arrest in the 1000 block of Berkeley St. at 9:35 a.m. Los Angeles County Medical Examiner records confirmed he was at a rehab center.

Amid the unfortunate situation, more light has been shed on George and Presley’s relationship and how the actor was a constant source of guidance for the 27-year-old.

Per The Blast, the “Jay Kelly” star has been present as stable since Presley’s childhood until he began getting in trouble. George was particularly helpful when the late model was charged with driving under the influence in 2018.

Recalling how the 65-year-old came through for Presley, an insider explained, “Especially after Presley got a DUI (in 2018), George would advise, ‘Don’t do that; it’s not smart. Be careful.’”

The actor didn’t stop encouraging Crawford and Rande’s son to get clean even in recent times, offering him all the support he needed. Some of George’s recent message exchanges with Presley saw him writing, “‘I am here for you,’ that kind of stuff,” according to the source.

Cindy Crawford ‘Never Stopped’ Trying To Save Her Son

5

The pain of Presley’s death is further compounded given his parents’ unconditional support and love until the very end.

According to insiders, the tragic circumstance of Crawford and Rande’s son’s passing wasn’t due to neglect or bad parenting.

“Cindy and Rande could not have been more supportive of Presley. They were always there for him and did everything they could to help him,” the source explained, as reported by The Blast.

Describing Presley’s substance use struggles as “very up and down,” the insider noted the young adult seemed to be doing well in recent years, even working at the family restaurant in Malibu.

“That is what makes this so heartbreaking. His family never stopped supporting him, loving him, and hoping that he would be okay,” lamented the source.

Presley Gerber Struggled To Find His Place In Final Months

5

It turns out Crawford and her husband weren’t alone in getting help for their son, as Presley himself had checked into a facility after recognizing he was struggling.

According to The Blast, in his final weeks, those close to the young model noticed he seemed unusual, but they couldn’t place it. “He seemed a little off in recent weeks. Something was just not there. Energetically, he didn’t seem like himself,” noted the insider.

Another source explained that Presley, who dealt with self-esteem issues while alive, felt like “he was lacking purpose in his life” and “hadn’t really found his place.”

A woman accused of fatally attacking her husband with a box cutter and coffee mug has been charged with second-degree murder, according to authorities.

Christine Clark, of Hartford, New York, is also charged with tampering with physical evidence, a felony offense, and criminal possession of a weapon, which is a misdemeanor, New York State Police said in a Thursday, September 24, news release.

State police and first responders found Clark’s husband, James M. Clark, with “severe, life-threatening injuries” at a Hartford home the morning of Wednesday, September 23, after they were called to a report of an unresponsive adult, according to police.

James, 43, was taken to a nearby hospital, where he ultimately died.

It wasn’t immediately clear what led to the alleged attack.

Following her arrest, Christine was booked in the Washington County Correctional Facility, state police said. The jail is located about a 55-mile drive northeast from Albany.

Antonio Brown plans to accept a plea deal in an attempted murder case in Miami. The deal will have the former NFL star wide receiver avoid prison time on the reduced charge. His lawyer said Wednesday (Sept. 23) the agreement with prosecutors was too good to turn down.

RELATED: Antonio Brown Enters Plea For Attempted Murder Charge Amid Release From Miami Jail (UPDATE)

What Happens Next For Antonio Brown? 

Antonio Brown will appear in court on Sept. 30 to finalize the deal. Defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh said AB will plead no contest to aggravated assault. His sentence will include probation without adjudication. This means Brown will not be considered a convicted felon, the attorney said. Brown could have faced up to 30 years in prison if convicted of the original attempted murder charge. AB was extradited in November 2025 from Dubai, where he has business interests. Officials had previously issued an arrest warrant on the attempted murder charge in June 2025.

Meanwhile, the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office declined to comment on Wednesday. Spokesperson Ed Griffith said the details would be “fully clarified” at next week’s hearing. Antonio Brown has said on social media that he was defending himself from an attack and that others were trying to steal jewelry from him.

What Did AB Allegedly Do?

Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer after a celebrity boxing match in Miami on May 16, 2025. Also, he allegedly fired two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier, according to an arrest warrant. Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu told investigators that one of the bullets grazed his neck.

“This was not an easy decision,” Defense Attorney Eiglarsh said in a statement Wednesday. “Antonio believes in his innocence. He believes strongly in his Stand Your Ground defense, and he believes he would ultimately prevail at trial. But when prosecutors put an offer on the table that transforms a potential decades-long prison sentence into a significantly reduced charge and probation, there was simply no way he could reasonably turn it down.”

Florida’s so-called Stand Your Ground law allows people who believe they face death or serious injury to use deadly force to defend themselves without a duty to retreat. Also, Richard Cooper, an attorney for Nantambu, called the plea deal fair.

“We are satisfied that justice is served. My client maintains what he said previously: that he forgives Brown and will not cooperate with law enforcement,” Cooper said in an email Wednesday. “We wish Mr. Brown good health and that he grows from this event.”

In a previous statement, his attorneys said that Nantambu had decided to forgive Antonio Brown after “considerable reflection, prayer, and consultation with his family and counsel.”

AB Has A History Of Legal Issues

Antonio Brown has dealt with several legal problems over the years. He previously had been accused of battery of a moving truck driver, several domestic violence charges, failure to pay child support and other incidents. During a 2021 game with Tampa Bay against the New York Jets, Brown took off his jersey, shoulder pads and gloves and ran off the field. This led to his release by the Buccaneers and effectively ended his football career.

The 38-year-old spent 12 years in the NFL. He was an All-Pro wide receiver and won a Super Bowl championship with quarterback Tom Brady. He spent much of his career with Pittsburgh. For his career, Brown had 928 receptions for more than 12,000 yards and accounted for 88 total touchdowns, counting punt returns and one pass.

More than 83 tons of meat are being recalled across the U.S. According to the Department of Agriculture, federal authorities failed to properly inspect the meat and shipped it with fake inspection stickers.

Dept. Of Agriculture Explains Meat Recall

Star Meat Delivery Inc., based in Lucama, North Carolina, is recalling more than 167,000 pounds of raw pork, beef, and goat nationwide. The USDA said that number could grow as it continues its investigation. The agency said it discovered the problem during the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service’s routine checks. It’s not clear whether officials have arrested or criminally charged anyone.

The products ended up at the Georgia distributor A&D Foods for distribution to retail and restaurant locations nationwide. Additionally, the meat in question was produced “on various dates” before Sept. 22. They had USDA inspection stickers falsely bearing an establishment number — EST. 1363 — that the agency said, “does not have a federal grant of inspection.” The USDA said the products are unsafe to eat. Furthermore, customers should discard or return the product(s) to the place of purchase.

However, the agency warned that some packages people purchased may not bear that labeling. That’s because retail stores may have applied their own stickers with pricing and safe handling instructions.

No Reports Of Illnesses Yet

Food produced without inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants, the Dept of Agriculture said Tuesday (Sept. 22) in announcing the meat recall. So far, there have been no confirmed reports of illnesses or injuries from the meats, according to the USDA.

Company Responsible Reacts To Recall

Star Meat Delivery, in a statement posted on its Facebook page Thursday, pushed back at the notion that the inspection stamps on its products were somehow falsified. It said the establishment number in question was “legitimately reserved” as part of the USDA application process. The company is seeking approval to process and package meat for the Georgia distributor. That approval process is still underway, Star Meat said, although the meat involved came from a USDA-inspected supplier.

“No other products sold by Star Meat Delivery were mislabeled, and no other products sold by Star Meat Delivery are part of the recall that has been issued,” the company said. “We are cooperating fully with the appropriate authorities to finalize the application and are following the recall procedures that have been put into place.”

The USDA didn’t immediately respond to Star Meat’s statement. Recalls triggered by forged inspection stamps are relatively rare, according to Keith Schneider. Keith is a food safety professor at the University of Florida in Gainesville.

“This is someone taking a shortcut,” he said. “Systems are in place to catch these sorts of things and it appears the system worked as intended. You can’t skip inspections.”

Last year, some 32,000 pounds of meat, including chorizo, pork chops and ribs, were recalled after the USDA determined they had fake inspection stickers. The meat was produced by Sabrositos Hondurenos of New Jersey.

The rapper hit Instagram with a fresh batch of photos showing him putting in work during an intense track workout. Bagg ditched his shirt for the sweat session and rocked nothing but shorts, sunglasses, and sneakers — oh, and his abs definitely made an appearance as the bonus accessory! Once a social media user peeped Bagg popping out with his whole chest on display, she wasted no time telling him, “Cover up..u married now.” Bagg clearly caught the comment and clapped back immediately, replying with, “I been dat stay focus.” Whew, he had time!

13. Soft Girl: Rustic-chic gets a softer spin with this light brown gingham dress. Delicate flutter sleeves, a smocked waist and ruffled tiers give the classic country print an extra-feminine finish.

14. Our Favorite: When a cardigan feels too casual, reach for this tailored plaid blazer instead. The structured shape instantly sharpens up tees, tanks and lightweight sweaters without requiring much styling.
