VeggieTales co-creator Phil Vischer weighed in on the argument over James Talarico’s description of God as nonbinary, saying Christian teaching places God beyond biological sex. His November 6 post on X replied to Tyler Huckabee’s defense of the idea that God transcends gender. The dispute traces back to October 14, 2021, when Talarico opposed Texas HB 25 and said, “God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is nonbinary.” The clip circulated again after he won the Democratic U.S. Senate primary in March 2026. The argument continued after his November 3 victory over Republican Ken Paxton. Vischer, who also voiced Bob the Tomato, explained on November 7 that Jesus taking human form as a biological male doesn’t make God the Father eternally male. He warned that treating God as male “demotes femininity to something created and human.” On November 9, he wrote: “Let's be clear: If you believe the eternal God, creator of the universe, is a male (or female) of a gend

Jennifer Grey's Jeanie Bueller is still waiting for her brother to help. In Home Instead's holiday ad “Save Jeanie,” she's handling their aging parents' shopping, prescriptions and appointments while Ferris leaves the work to her. Charlie Sheen returns as the unnamed character who once offered her advice in a police station, this time hearing her out at a bar. Released November 9, the commercial reunites the Ferris Bueller's Day Off actors 40 years after the 1986 film. Cindy Pickett also returns as Katie Bueller, Ferris and Jeanie's mother. When Jeanie asks whether Ferris took Dad to his appointment or got the groceries, her mother defends him: “Ferris is a very busy boy.” Jeanie tells Sheen's character, “Because if I don't do it, it won't get done.” He suggests there's somebody she should call. “If you say Ferris Bueller, I scream,” she replies. His answer: “Home instead.” Home Instead provides non-medical care at home for older adults. The campaign also includes a “Nominate a Jea

Russell Brand was sentenced this week to 10½ years in prison after a London jury found him guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women between 2004 and 2009. The judge called him a sexual predator who believed fame meant he could act however he wanted. He will have to serve roughly seven years before he is eligible for parole. A decade earlier, Brock Turner was convicted of three felony sexual assault counts for attacking an unconscious Chanel Miller outside a Stanford fraternity party. He was sentenced to six months and served three. Miller’s victim impact statement went viral; she later published the memoir Know My Name. Turner remains a registered sex offender in Ohio. At Cornell, a former student known as Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit alleging she was drugged and gang-raped by seven Chi Phi fraternity members over several hours in October 2024. The local prosecutor initially declined to pursue charges. After the lawsuit and public pressure

In a 2013 Vogue interview, Katy Perry said she had initially blamed herself for the end of her marriage to Russell Brand. Then she learned what she called “the real truth.” She never disclosed what that was, only that she kept it “locked in my safe for a rainy day” and concluded the breakdown was “beyond me.” By then she had already described him as “very controlling.” She said that at first he wanted an equal partner, “but then they get that equal and they’re like, I can’t handle the equalness.” She added: “He didn’t like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour. So that was really hurtful, and it was very controlling, which was upsetting.” Other details she gave pointed in the same direction. In a separate interview she said Brand pushed for children even though she knew she wasn’t ready, and she viewed the pressure as “a way of control”: if she had a kid she would have to be home more. She also recalled surprising him at a comedy show and hearing him make jokes about her with

Gwyneth Paltrow's next Goop project puts questions about perimenopause, Paris restaurants and holidays with an ex on the same agenda. The Goop Guide With Gwyneth Paltrow launches November 11 as a video podcast on Netflix and Spotify, with audio available on all major podcast platforms. The 54-year-old described the questions she gets in a statement: “what actually helps you sleep in perimenopause, where to eat the best steak frites in Paris, how to spend the holidays with your ex.” “I don’t always have the answer, but I almost always know who to call, whether it’s a friend, a fellow founder, an expert or someone I’ve admired for years,” Paltrow said. Season 1 guests include Zoe Saldaña, Ke Huy Quan and Mark Duplass. Goop says the conversations will also cover reinvention, raising a family, friendship breakups and Thanksgiving dinner. The guest pool will span doctors, relatives, colleagues and ex-boyfriends, alongside founders and other experts. Paltrow said the space was designed t

Playing Fiona Gallagher on Shameless meant Emmy Rossum sometimes met men who assumed her character’s sex life reflected her own. The actress described that confusion in March 2014, when she said Fiona’s sexual openness gave dates an impression of her that she didn’t recognize. Filming those scenes felt like playing pretend, she explained. In a February 2014 Complex interview she recalled dates telling her, “You know that people are going to jerk off to that scene, right?” Rossum had agency over what she shot: her contract referenced things like partial side-boob and “two cheeks,” and she has said she only agreed to nudity when it served the story. The hardest scene she filmed was a season 4 prison strip-search in which she was completely naked without her usual modesty patch. She had a panic attack on set and told showrunner John Wells she hoped it was worth it. Rossum returned to the subject on Maria Sharapova’s podcast on September 16, 2026, recalling dating in her twenties while a

Amanda Seyfried said in a January 8, 2026, Vogue interview that she still took medication every night for OCD, which she said was diagnosed at 19. OCD involves recurring, uncontrollable thoughts, repetitive excessive behaviors, or both. In her October 18, 2016, Allure interview, Seyfried described the fear that led her to seek help: “I had pretty bad health anxiety that came from the OCD and thought I had a tumor in my brain. I had an MRI, and the neurologist referred me to a psychiatrist.” She also described worrying that someone could leave a stove on and start a fire. She recalled in the 2026 Vogue interview that she was filming Big Love and living in Marina del Rey. Her mother took a month away from her Pennsylvania job to stay with her during the brain scans and the start of medication. In the October 18, 2016, Allure interview, she said, “I’m on Lexapro, and I’ll never get off of it.” She said she took the lowest dose and that her compulsive thoughts and fears had eased with a

When Octavia Spencer and Jessica Chastain discussed pay for a holiday comedy in March 2017, Spencer explained how much less women of color earned than white women. They compared numbers. Spencer said Chastain hadn't known how wide the gap was. Chastain's response was to link their deals so they'd receive equal pay. Recalling the conversation at a Sundance panel on January 24, 2018, Spencer said Chastain promised they'd be “tied together,” with “favored nations” terms, and would “make the same thing.” They'd been friends since meeting at Chastain's audition for The Help. Spencer went on to win the 2012 supporting-actress Oscar for that film; Chastain was nominated in the same category. For the holiday comedy, Chastain also had a producing role. She and Kelly Carmichael developed the story about 2 women trying to get home for Christmas, and Spencer and Chastain pitched it together. Universal acquired the project after competing with Fox and Paramount. At Sundance, Spencer said the de

Kayla Ryan, a beauty and fashion creator, went public with her criticism of SKIMS' $148 advent calendar, and the brand came back with two options: return it for a refund, or hold on to it and get store credit. She posted the email she received regarding her Holiday 2026 purchase. "We understand the product did not meet customers' expectations, and we are truly sorry," SKIMS wrote, saying it wanted every customer to be happy with their purchase. The brand admitted "we fell short this time." Per the email, sending the calendar back earns a $150 refund to her original payment method, with no return shipping cost. If she keeps it, she gets $150 in credit to use on a future order. SKIMS asked her to contact customer service once she's made her decision. Ryan had already declared it the worst advent calendar during her unboxing video. Her follow-up response made clear the offer was a welcome one. The $148 Accessories Advent Calendar spans 12 days and comes packed with items like hair acc

Taylor Swift opens “Cleveland!” to a voice mocking her clothes: “And with all of that money, why’s she dressed like trash?” The song is about Travis Kelce, yet its targets are attacks on Swift herself. Comedian Meredith Lynch asks why a song celebrating their marriage spends so much time answering those attacks. Kelce’s hometown supplies the setting: the lyrics mention Cleveland Heights, “The Heights” and the porch of his childhood house. Swift brings in a complaint about her smile, “it’s annoying,” and a jab at her dancing: “Stumbling clumsily? Would you even call that dancing?” She invokes a “scathing take ’bout how I’m fake” and the suggestion that Kelce “could find someone younger.” Her answer rests on his preference: “But my baby likes what he likes.” The chorus tells critics to “hate all you like” while calling Kelce “the love of my life”; Swift also sings, “The taste of me is acquired, but it’s his favorite dish.” In the bridge, the measure of acceptance becomes finding someo

Taylor Swift called Olivia Rodrigo “my baby” when “drivers license” took off. Months later, Swift, Jack Antonoff and St. Vincent received a combined 50% of the publishing on Rodrigo’s “deja vu.” Rodrigo was 18. Looking back in 2023, she said she’d been “a little caught off guard” by the change. The process was “team-on-team,” she wasn’t “super involved,” and she said she “wouldn’t be the best person to ask” about the decision. But asked in that same interview whether she’d demand credit from a younger artist, she had an answer. “I don’t think I would ever personally do that.” Separately, she described how little she’d understood about that side of the business. “I was so green as to how the music industry worked, the litigious side.” Their public relationship had started with plenty of encouragement. In January 2021, Rodrigo posted about “drivers license” appearing beside Swift on iTunes. Swift commented, “I say that’s my baby and I’m really proud.” Rodrigo told Zane Lowe she “just

Jacey Abbott had already bought a hijab and tried it on at home. The wigs she wore were hot and itchy, and the hijab felt comfortable. What she didn’t know was how someone who wore one for religious reasons would feel about seeing her in it. So Abbott, an Alabama mother of three who says she has terminal breast cancer, put the question to Muslim readers on Threads. About 1,900 replies came in within 11 hours. A Muslim woman in Indonesia told Abbott she was welcome to wear it and could take it off whenever she wanted. Suzanne Abdelhaq recommended the kind of soft, lined cap her own daughter wears under her hijab, then asked Abbott a question in return: “Is it ok with you if I pray for you to have ease and comfort?” Abbott wrote back that the hijab she’d picked didn’t irritate her at all. When another reader recalled the beautiful scarves a friend had worn during cancer treatment, Abbott laughed at the idea of dressing up: “I’m not fancy enough for that.” Cutoffs and T-shirts were more

Denzel Washington’s warning about misinformation came after a fake story claimed he had endorsed Donald Trump. Asked about fake news at the December 6, 2016 premiere of Fences in Washington, D.C., he told a reporter: “If you don't read the newspaper you're uninformed, if you do read it you're misinformed.” Washington had directed and starred in the film, which was due in theaters that Christmas. The premiere was held at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. In a separate interview before the event, Nicholas Ballasy asked him about the false article. Washington replied: “Of course I saw it.” The endorsement story had been circulating for months. Washington, who had supported Barack Obama in 2008, had been cautious when asked about the coming presidential election in Washington on October 1, 2015. “We just need to know more,” he said. By August 2016, ANews24 was claiming he had switched his support from Hillary Clinton to Trump. The story used remarks from Charl

Steven Tyler recalled offering to take Cameron Diaz to the movies while they shared a van with his daughter Liv after a Stella McCartney party. In his telling, Liv interrupted: “Daddy, you’re hitting on my best girlfriend!” The Aerosmith singer shared the story during “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts” on The Late Late Show with James Corden on May 17, 2018, when he was asked whether he’d ever hit on one of Liv’s friends. “Yes I have. And I got a lot of shit for it too,” he said. He described Diaz sitting beside him and his attempt to suggest a movie or ask her to show him around London. After Liv called him out, he said, “And I got ashamed for a moment.” When Liv appeared on the show on March 5, 2020, she confirmed the encounter but corrected his geography: “He said how it happened in London but it happened in New York. His memory is very interesting ’cause he remembers little bits, but not everything.” She described her father’s manner: “My dad’s my dad. He’s very flirtatious, h

He was 25. The girls he was talking about were teenagers. Hilary Duff was 15. The Olsen twins were 17. "Hilary Duff. I huff and I puff and I blow the Duff down. Hilary Duff is in Lizzie McGuire, she also has an album out, she's going to be in a movie called Cheaper by the Dozen, and she's one of the girls that we're all waiting for to turn 18 along with the Olsen twins." Ashton Kutcher said that on his own MTV show in 2003. The footage sat in archives for twenty years. Then co-star Danny Masterson was convicted of rape, and Kutcher wrote a character letter supporting him. Once that letter became public, Kutcher stepped down as board chair of Thorn, the anti-child-trafficking nonprofit he co-founded with Demi Moore. The old clip resurfaced and went viral in early 2026, following new Epstein document releases. Those documents showed Ghislaine Maxwell emailing Eli Holzman, who later became president of Kutcher's production company Katalyst Films, the company that created and produced

Salma Hayek turned 60 in September with a film of her own to direct and, she says, the health, energy and dreams to keep doing what she loves. The birthday had worried her for decades. “It sounded so scary in the 20s, in the 30s, in the 40s, even in the 50s. It’s not scary at all. Once you get here, it’s not bad at all,” she said. “I’m still doing what I love, and I have the blessing of my family and friends and health and energy and dreams. Let’s go.” Her next career chapter includes Arena, a romantic adventure she wrote that's also her first film as a director. Asked about her remaining ambitions, Hayek said, “I just directed my first film and that’s very exciting.” That confidence follows another milestone she'd struggled to imagine for herself: her 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover, at 58. Hayek previously said she'd experienced a “very bad case of imposter syndrome” before the shoot and tried to back out after agreeing to it, worrying that the swimsuits wouldn't fit. She

“I can't actually find the verse,” Russell Brand told Piers Morgan during their April 24, 2026 interview, after Morgan asked him to identify the Bible passage he'd been reading at a court hearing. Brand said it was in Isaiah, then spent roughly 90 to 120 seconds turning pages and muttering. Morgan waited without speaking, occasionally glancing at the camera. Brand eventually read from Isaiah 12, a different passage from the one he'd sought. The Bible had accompanied Brand to a February 24 hearing at London's Southwark Crown Court. An officer took it from him until the proceedings ended. Bear Grylls baptized Brand in the River Thames in 2024, after allegations against Brand surfaced in 2023. Brand has presented his Christian conversion as a break with his past and subsequently published How to Become a Christian in 7 Days through Tucker Carlson Books. On April 26, Brand returned to the question in a follow-up video. He showed a marked page and identified Isaiah 43:18–19 as the passa

In a conversation with Dotson Rader in Los Angeles, Keanu Reeves described grief as something that stays with you: “Grief changes shape, but it never ends.” The interview appeared in Parade’s June 11, 2006 profile, “I Don’t Want To Flee From Life.” Reeves and Jennifer Syme had been expecting a daughter they’d named Ava Archer Syme-Reeves. She was stillborn on Christmas Eve 1999, about eight months into the pregnancy, and they buried her in January 2000. The couple separated within weeks but remained close. On April 1, 2001, Reeves and Syme shared brunch in San Francisco. That night, she attended a party at Marilyn Manson’s house. Someone drove her home, but she later went out again in her Jeep Grand Cherokee. Early on April 2, she crashed on Cahuenga Boulevard in Los Angeles, hitting parked cars and rolling the Jeep. She wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and was partially ejected. She died at the scene at 28. After her death, Reeves called the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office and asked,

Linda Cardellini could stand beside a Scooby-Doo poster without anyone noticing she was the actor who played Velma. For her, looking so different from the character meant she could step away from work and keep her life private. “Back when I did Scooby-Doo, I was costumed and I could stand right next to the movie poster and nobody paid attention,” she said. “But now those kids have grown up and seen it so much that I actually get recognized more for that now than I did back then.” The 51-year-old discussed that balance on SmartLess with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett after winning her first Primetime Emmy for DTF St. Louis. Her career spans 30 years, from Lindsay Weir in Freaks and Geeks to roles in ER, Bloodline, Mad Men and Dead to Me. Mad Men and Dead to Me had previously earned her Emmy nominations. Asked whether acting means exploring herself or becoming someone else, she chose “Other people.” She explained: “Which inevitably has yourself in it because you're only you

Karissa and Kristina Shannon say Hugh Hefner controlled their careers and their lives at the Playboy Mansion, where they lived from ages 18 to 20. In a 2025 interview, the former Playmates compared him to Diddy and said he “took our innocence” and “owned us.” They describe their first sexual encounter with him, a threesome on their 19th birthday in October 2008, as forced; they say Kendra Wilkinson took them to his bedroom, and Karissa has called the encounter “assault” and “rape.” The sisters say they were placed on “room arrest” as teenagers, with security guards outside their bedroom stopping them from leaving. They say they were regularly given alcohol and “a s*** load of pills” while under 21, and that Hefner pressured them to engage sexually with each other, something Karissa maintains they only pretended to do. They've also described Hefner making their Christian beliefs a source of conflict and said losing their faith became part of their trauma. They say they contracted chla
