Celebrity breakups, rich people problems, and actors pretending they’re just like us. If it sparkles or self-destructs in public, it’s probably here.

Pope Leo Proves His Loyalty to the White Sox by Razzing a Cubs Fan

Pope Leo might serve God, but he was born and raised in Chicago, and his second allegiance is to the White Sox.

That loyalty was on full display this past Sunday when the pontiff was gliding through Vatican City in the Popemobile after mass, surrounded by tens of thousands of cheering onlookers. Somewhere in the crowd, one brave (or possibly clueless) heckler decided to test the Pope’s patience by yelling, “Go Cubs!”

Now, Leo may preach forgiveness and neighborly love, but not when it comes to a good crosstown rivalry. Without missing a beat, he fired back, “Han perdido! They lost!”

If your Spanish is a little rusty, “han perdido” means “they lost,” which makes this divine clapback even better.

The Cubs had just been knocked out of the National League Divisional Series by the Milwaukee Brewers, and apparently, Pope Leo wasn’t in the mood for Cub-related trolling.

The moment quickly went viral, with fans around the world praising the Pope’s hometown spirit.

Even Sox fans back in Chicago were calling it “the holiest burn of the season.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time a public figure has shown some baseball bias, but it might be the first time the Bishop of Rome joined the ranks of salty sports fans. Then again, if you’ve lived through as many disappointing Cubs seasons as Chicagoans have, it’s easy to understand why the pontiff’s prayers go toward the South Side instead.

So next time you’re in Vatican City and thinking about shouting “Go Cubs” at the Pope—maybe don’t. Unless you’re ready for some holy smack talk.

Kevin Federline Says Britney Spears’ Conservatorship Shouldn’t Have Ended

Kevin Federline is stepping back into the spotlight, and he’s bringing some serious claims with him.

In his upcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew, Federline reportedly says he doesn’t believe Britney Spears should have ever been released from her conservatorship.

In an excerpt that’s already making waves, Kevin writes, “The truth is, this situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible. It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s OK. From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we’re getting close to the 11th hour. Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.”

That “11th hour” line alone is giving tabloids plenty to work with. But it’s his claims about their sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James (now 20 and 19), that are drawing the most attention.

Federline says the boys were afraid to be around their mother at times because of her erratic behavior. He even alleges that more than once, they woke up in the middle of the night to find Britney standing silently in their doorway, holding a knife.

Britney’s camp, unsurprisingly, is not having it. A rep for the singer responded, “With news from Kevin’s book breaking, once again he and others are profiting off her, and sadly it comes after child support has ended with Kevin. All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and their well-being during this sensationalism.”

It’s the latest turn in what’s been nearly two decades of public ups and downs for the former couple, who divorced in 2007.

Britney’s conservatorship—once the focus of the #FreeBritney movement—was terminated in 2021 after 13 years.

Federline’s book is set to hit shelves on Tuesday, October 21st, and if this early drama is any indication, it won’t just be fans who are reading. The whole world will be watching how Britney responds next.

Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS Launched Faux Pubic Hair Underwear—And Yes, They Sold Out

Kim Kardashian is once again proving that no topic is off-limits in fashion.

Her brand SKIMS just dropped what might be the most eyebrow-raising item in underwear history: micro string thongs with faux pubic hair. Yes, you read that correctly. FAUX. PUBIC. HAIR.

The new “Ultimate Bush” line comes in 12 variations featuring shades of brown, blonde, black, and red, with your choice of straight or curly faux hair. Each piece sells for $32, though good luck getting one—they sold out almost immediately. (Because apparently, the world has been waiting for this.) SKIMS fans who missed out can join the official waitlist, which is probably something no one ever expected to exist.

In typical SKIMS fashion, the brand leaned all the way into the bit. Their official tagline reads,

“With this iconic new panty, your carpet can be whatever color you want it to be.”

So, if you’ve ever wanted your “carpet” to match your “drapes” again, this might be your moment.

Social media, naturally, went wild. Comments ranged from delight to disbelief:


“Very Ed Gein of you, Kim,” one person wrote. Another begged, “Someone please tell me why these are out of stock. Who is buying?” One user simply demanded answers: “Kimberly, please show me the market research. Who asked for this?”

And then there’s the collective cry of the laser-hair-removal generation:

“Don’t you dare, Kimberly. I just spent a fortune on laser. We are not bringing the bush back.”

But maybe we are. From the rise of ‘70s-style grooming trends to Y2K-inspired minimalism making a full comeback, body hair is officially back in the conversation. Kim’s just giving people the option to fake it if they want to.

Whether it’s a cheeky fashion statement or a straight-up troll move, SKIMS has once again done what SKIMS does best—get everyone talking. And for better or worse, that’s what makes Kim Kardashian a marketing genius.

Hillary Clinton’s Anniversary Throwbacks Have the Internet Feeling Thirsty

Hillary and Bill Clinton just hit a major milestone: 50 years of marriage.

To celebrate, Hillary posted a series of vintage photos on social media — and let’s just say, the internet did not keep its cool.

The former Secretary of State shared a handful of black-and-white and early color photos from the couple’s younger years, and people were quick to notice that both Clintons were serving serious main-character energy. The reaction? A surprising amount of thirst. Comments ranged from “Bill was kinda fine back in the day” to “Okay, Hillary with the hair!”

Of course, it wouldn’t be the internet without a few pop culture comparisons.

Several people pointed out how much young Hillary resembles either Sydney Sweeney or Sabrina Carpenter — depending on which photo you’re looking at. That set off a new wave of debate online about who should play Hillary in a hypothetical Clinton biopic.

So far, the leading fan-cast picks are Sweeney and Carpenter, though some users joked that the film would probably get titled 50 Shades of Politics.

For what it’s worth, the Clintons still seem to be doing just fine five decades later. As one fan put it in the comments: “Say what you want, but they’ve made it longer than most celebrity marriages. That’s power couple status.”

Which Halloween Movie Matches Your Star Sign?

October is basically spooky season’s Super Bowl, which means it’s officially time to line up your Halloween movie playlist.

But if you’re staring at a million choices and can’t decide between witches, ghosts, or chainsaw-wielding maniacs, “People“ magazine has you covered. They teamed up with an astrologer to match every Zodiac sign with the perfect Halloween flick.

Whether you believe in horoscopes or just want an excuse to rewatch a classic, here’s what the stars picked for you:

  • Aries gets “Friday the 13th”, since this fiery sign matches the film’s nonstop intensity.
  • Taurus is paired with “Scream”, because calm, steady Sidney Prescott embodies their grounded Earth energy.
  • Gemini is all about “Hocus Pocus”. Mischief, witty banter, sibling chaos? That’s peak Gemini.
  • Cancer gets nostalgic with “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”. Tender, sentimental, and cozy—like a pumpkin spice latte for the soul.
  • Leo takes center stage with “Halloweentown”. The drama, the sparkle, the flair? Leo to a T.
  • Virgo aligns with “Ghostbusters”. Practical, resourceful, and obsessed with problem-solving. Who you gonna call? Virgo.
  • Libra is matched with “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. Bold, over-the-top, and a little scandalous—sounds about right.
  • Scorpio gets “Halloween”. It literally takes place in Scorpio season, and Michael Myers’ unstoppable energy is very on-brand.
  • Sagittarius gets the chaotic fun of “Beetlejuice”, a sign as wild and adventurous as the movie itself.
  • Capricorn connects with “The Addams Family”. Dark humor, gothic vibes, and Saturn-approved deadpan wit.
  • Aquarius lands “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. Quirky, innovative, and never satisfied with the ordinary—Jack Skellington could be their mascot.
  • Pisces gets dreamy with “Casper”. Whimsical, emotional, and just delusional enough to fall for a ghost.

So, if you’re ready to start spooky season right, maybe let your Zodiac sign pick the movie tonight. And hey, even if you don’t totally vibe with astrology, at least it’s a solid excuse to queue up a classic.

Sigourney Weaver Teases Possible “Alien” Comeback

Ellen Ripley’s death in “Alien 3” seemed like the end of the story . . . or so fans thought.

But according to Sigourney Weaver herself, there may be a path for Ripley’s return. (Or her clone, Ripley 8, from “Alien Resurrection?) Speaking at New York Comic Con, Weaver revealed that longtime “Alien” producer Walter Hill has written 50 pages outlining how her character could come back to the franchise.

Weaver said she’s already met with Disney (which now owns 20th Century Studios) to talk about the idea.

“[Walter] wrote 50 pages where Ripley would be now, and they are quite extraordinary,” she told the crowd. “I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but I have had a meeting with Fox, Disney, or whoever it is now.”

She admitted she never really felt the need to revisit Ripley’s story, saying, “I was always like, ‘Let her rest, let her recover.’” But Hill’s new take, she said, feels true to both Ripley and today’s world. “It’s very much about the society that would incarcerate someone who has tried to help mankind. She’s a problem to them, so she’s sort of tucked away.”

Weaver added that the new story begins in a powerful way and that she’s considering working with Hill to develop it further.

“It’s a very strong first 50 pages,” she said. “I’m thinking about working with Walter to see what the rest of the story would be.”

If this project moves forward, it would mark the first time Weaver has played Ripley in over two decades. But for fans, the idea of Weaver returning to the role that made her a sci-fi legend is enough to reignite the hope of seeing Ripley, battle-scarred, brilliant, and still fighting . . . one more time.

Taylor Swift’s “Graveyard of Heartbreak” Pops Up in Hoboken

Taylor Swift has inspired a lot of things—albums, tattoos, dissertations—but now she’s also the reason there’s a graveyard on a front porch in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Someone went all-in on their Swiftie creativity by turning their stoop into a spooky “Graveyard of Heartbreak,” complete with tombstones for six of Taylor’s famous exes: Harry Styles, Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Matty Healy, and Joe Alwyn.

Haunting season (Taylor’s Version) 👻🪦 Shoutout to the creative spooky souls who created this masterpiece! #taylorswift #halloween #TSTheLifeofaShowgirl #halloweendecor

♬ ootw x lwymmd – addi 🪩

If you’re wondering who didn’t make the cut, the missing names include Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris, Taylor Lautner, and Conor Kennedy (yes, that Kennedy—Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s son).

The homeowners apparently had to draw the line somewhere, likely because fake headstones aren’t cheap, and let’s face it, Taylor’s breakup history could fill an entire cemetery.

The display also includes a skeleton Travis Kelce on one knee—well, one kneecap—proposing to a skeleton Taylor. And because no Swift-themed haunted scene would be complete without a little industry drama, there’s even a skeleton locked in a cage labeled “Scooter Braun.”

Locals say the display has become a mini tourist attraction, with fans stopping to snap selfies and laugh at the attention to detail. It’s safe to say this Hoboken house just became the ultimate shrine to Swift’s love life—and her ability to outlive every ex, metaphorically speaking.

A Guy Bought a Realistic Henry Cavill Doll, But Swears It’s Not for Sex

James Robertson-Reavis is an openly gay man from Texas, who performs in drag as Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand. But he’s in the news after he just spent a lot of money – thousands? – on an ultra-realistic, life-size doll of “Superman” stud Henry Cavill. This thing is so legit it has body hair.

Why buy a Henry Cavill doll that’s so realistic? 👀

Although we’re all thinking it, James is very adamant that this thing is not a sex doll. He says he commissioned Henry from a British manufacturer for display use only.

In one video, James explains that Henry can’t be a sex doll since he’s not entirely silicone. He’s made of fiberglass from the waist down, like a mannequin, because he was thousands of dollars cheaper that way.

(Unfortunately it looks like James has since made his profile private, so send him a request if you want to see more.)

James also drops Henry’s drawers to show us what he’s workin’ with… and it ain’t much. Henry has more than a Ken doll, but not much more; basically just a little plastic nub that’s kind of shaped like a flaccid twig and berries. Nothing you can get down to much action with.

James also says Henry does not have any below-the-belt entry points. And besides that, James has been happily married for 13 years.

What would Henry have to say?

James isn’t worried he’s crossing any lines with the real Mr. Cavill. He says, “If we aren’t using AI to deceive or con, I don’t see the harm in personal use.”

Okay, so it’s not a sex doll. I guess my question is, how long before it becomes a sex doll? I mean, that thing is seriously handsome. And we all get lonely from time to time.

If you really want it, there are ways. Just sayin’.

Will Lainey Wilson Walk Down the Aisle in Bell Bottoms?

When it comes to fashion, Lainey Wilson has one unmistakable signature: bell bottoms. But will she even feature them in her nuptials?

Whether she’s on stage, at an award show, or just walking through an airport, she’s almost never seen without them. So naturally, fans are wondering — will she wear bell bottoms on her wedding day?

According to Lainey herself, maybe… but not down the aisle. She recently joked that she might save the bell bottoms for the afterparty or the reception, hinting that even though she loves her flared look, she might go a little more traditional for the actual ceremony.

What’s on her wedding day playlist?

Lainey and her fiancé, former NFL player Duck Hodges, haven’t picked a wedding song yet either, but she says it’ll probably be something by Eric Church. In her words, “Eric Church is the artist we kind of bonded over,” which sounds like a pretty sweet full-circle moment for the country star couple.

If you’re keeping track, that means the odds are high that their first dance will be to something from Church’s catalog — maybe “Like Jesus Does” or “You Make It Look So Easy”? Either way, it’s bound to fit the vibe: country, heartfelt, and just a little rock and roll.

As for the dress code, fans might still want to keep their eyes open. Knowing Lainey’s love for bell bottoms, it wouldn’t be shocking if she finds a way to sneak them into her wedding weekend — maybe as part of a sparkly afterparty jumpsuit, or even a reception outfit that lets her move a little easier on the dance floor.

The Best Dog Performances in Movies and TV

If you think your dog deserves an Oscar for “Best Couch Hog,” wait until you see this list.

Den of Geek has rounded up the all-time greatest canine performances in film and television, and the results prove that Hollywood’s biggest stars don’t always walk on two legs.

At the top of the list? The legendary Lassie, or rather the six heroic Collies who shared the role across decades: Pal, Lassie Junior, Spook, Baby, Mire, and Hey Hey. These pups defined loyalty, bravery, and perfectly timed barking, making “Lassie” the ultimate good dog story.

Coming in at #2 is Indy, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever from “Good Boy”, the new horror movie told entirely from a dog’s perspective. The film has been getting attention for its eerie premise and standout canine acting, so this ranking gives Indy some well-earned treats.

Third place goes to Terry, the little Cairn Terrier who stole hearts as Toto in “The Wizard of Oz”. Over 80 years later, Toto’s “We’re not in Kansas anymore” moment still lives rent-free in our collective memory.

Here’s the full Top 10 lineup of Hollywood’s best four-legged performers:

  1. Pal, Lassie Junior, Spook, Baby, Mire, and Hey Hey (“Lassie”)
  2. Indy (“Good Boy”)
  3. Terry as Toto (“The Wizard of Oz”)
  4. Spike (“Old Yeller”)
  5. Buddy (“Air Bud”)
  6. Messi as Snoop (“Anatomy of a Fall”)
  7. Uggie (“The Artist”)
  8. Higgins and Benjean (“Benji”)
  9. Chris (“Beethoven”)
  10. All 22 Labradors who shared the role of Marley (“Marley & Me”)

What makes this list extra fun is the reminder that dogs have been stealing scenes since long before CGI or TikTok filters. From heroic Collies and loyal Terriers to chaos-loving Labs, these stars remind us why dogs will always be Hollywood’s best co-stars.
