Kristi Noem Files For Divorce Following Husband’s Cross-Dressing Scandal

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Back in March, folks on social media had a good laugh over reports of Bryon Noem’s alleged cross-dressing fetish.

But it seems that Bryon’s wife, former South Dakota governor and former Department of Homeland Security secretary, failed to see the humor in the situation.

Kristi filed for divorce from Bryon on Monday, September 28, according to court records obtained by People.

Kristi cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

And while the filing may have arrived this week, rumors about trouble in the Noems’ marriage have been circulating for quite some time.

Kristi and Bryon married in 1992 after meeting as teenagers in South Dakota. They went on to have three children — daughters Kassidy and Kennedy and son Booker — and are now grandparents to four grandchildren.

But their seemingly long-running marriage came under intense scrutiny earlier this year after reports surfaced about Bryon’s alleged participation in online fetish forums.

The Daily Mail reported in March that Bryon had allegedly spent more than $25,000 communicating with performers in “bimbofication” chatrooms, a type of role-playing centered around exaggerated femininity.

The outlet also published photos that allegedly showed Bryon wearing feminine clothing and oversized fake breasts.

Kristi’s representative responded to those reports by saying that she was “devastated” and that the family had been “blindsided.”

Bryon did not deny participating in the online chatrooms at the time, although he disputed some of the claims made about his conversations and his marriage.

The controversy came as Kristi was dealing with major changes in her own career.

President Donald Trump removed her as Homeland Security secretary in March and reassigned her to another role. Around the same time, Kristi was questioned publicly about longstanding rumors involving Trump ally Corey Lewandowski.

Both Kristi and Lewandowski have denied having a romantic relationship.

When questioned under oath about whether she had a sexual relationship with Lewandowski, Kristi declined to give a direct answer and dismissed the questions as “tabloid garbage.”

Meanwhile, Kristi’s mother, Corinne Arnold, indicated in July that the divorce was coming.

“It has been difficult, but we knew this was coming, that they were going to get divorced,” Arnold told the Daily Mail.

At the time, however, no divorce paperwork had been filed publicly.

That has now changed.

After 34 years of marriage, Kristi and Bryon’s relationship has officially reached its final chapter — and considering everything that has unfolded around the couple in 2026, it has certainly been a very public one.

Trump’s Ban on Canadian Alcohol Kicks In: Will You Notice the Impact?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

For most of this year, Donald Trump’s tariffs and international commerce restrictions have been subjects of widespread criticism.

And beginning today, millions of Americans might feel the effects of the never-ending trade war like never before.

That’s because the Trump administration has officially banned a whole lot of Canadian booze from entering the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump looks on during the signing of a security pact between the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland during the 81st session of the United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly at U.N. Headquarters on September 22, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

But before anyone starts panic-buying Crown Royal, there’s an important catch: The ban probably won’t empty American liquor-store shelves overnight.

The new restrictions took effect Tuesday and cover roughly $800 million worth of Canadian alcoholic beverages that the United States imported last year. The move is part of the rapidly escalating trade fight between the U.S. and Canada.

Trump’s administration says the action is a response to Canadian restrictions on American alcoholic beverages. Canada began pulling US wine and spirits from store shelves in 2025 after Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods.

The White House has characterized Canada’s treatment of American alcohol as discriminatory. Trump subsequently used Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose the new restrictions.

And yes, this means some of your favorite Canadian drinks could become considerably harder to find.

But there are loopholes.

A post shared by Channel 3 Eyewitness News (@wfsbnews)

Whiskey and liqueurs can still enter the United States when they’re shipped in containers larger than four liters. That creates an obvious problem for Canadian producers, however, because many bottles sold in American liquor stores are much smaller.

Companies could theoretically ship their products in bulk and bottle them in the United States, but that requires additional equipment and containers.

Crown Royal may have an advantage here, as the brand already ships bulk whisky to the United States and bottles products intended for the American market domestically.

So while this is technically a ban on Canadian booze, it isn’t quite as simple as slapping a giant “NO CANADIANS ALLOWED” sign on every liquor store.

American consumers may not immediately notice much difference, particularly because distributors had time to stock up before the restrictions took effect.

Still, the broader implications are significant.

Trade expert Inu Manak tells CNN that using an import ban against an ally is an unusual escalation and described the move as a symbolic attempt to pressure Canadian negotiators.

The alcohol industry isn’t exactly thrilled about being caught in the middle, either.

Chris Swonger, president and CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, said American distillers prefer to compete based on their products rather than tariffs.

“We like to compete by sip and taste, not tariffs,” Swonger said.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, this particular trade dispute appears to have gotten considerably more complicated than simply deciding which country’s whiskey tastes better.

And for American consumers, the biggest question may be whether their favorite Canadian bottles remain available — or become the latest casualty of the increasingly messy US-Canada trade war.

Lindsay Clancy Holdout Juror Speaks Out: Focus on ‘3 Angels’ Who Died, Not Me

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial may be over for now, but the drama surrounding the case is showing no signs of slowing down.

Michael Desronvil, the lone holdout juror whose refusal to change his position contributed to the mistrial earlier this month, has spoken publicly for the first time without an attorney or YouTuber acting as his intermediary.

And Desronvil has one very specific request: Stop talking about him.

“I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels,” Desronvil said in a video statement that aired Monday on Fox News’ Hannity.

“The ones that can’t speak for themselves, the ones that can’t defend themselves, and the ones that can’t fight the battles — and those are Cora, Dawson, and Callan.”

Cora, Dawson, and Callan were Clancy’s three children. They were killed at the family’s Massachusetts home in January 2023.

The five-week trial ended in a mistrial on September 4 after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

According to several jurors who have spoken publicly, the panel ultimately stood at 11-1, with Desronvil maintaining that Clancy should be found guilty of murder.

Desronvil has repeatedly denied allegations that he ignored the law or possessed doubts about the prosecution’s case.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: The lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, Michael Desronvil, has broken his silence in a video statement sent exclusively to Fox News' Sean Hannity.

— Michael Ruiz (@mikerreports) September 29, 2026

“I didn’t have any doubts,” he previously said in a statement released through his representatives.

His attorney, Edward Paltzik, has also vigorously defended him, calling allegations made against his client “false” and “fabricated.”

Meanwhile, Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, has asked the court to investigate Desronvil over allegations stemming from the jury’s deliberations. Reddington has referred to him as an “obstructionist juror,” while Desronvil’s legal team has accused Clancy’s defense of unfairly targeting him.

Now, Desronvil says he would rather the conversation return to the three children at the center of the case.

“I want to thank God for my Catholic faith,” he said in his new video. “I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to love my daughter.”

“And foremost, I would like to thank everyone, every individual, that has supported me throughout this difficult situation.”

Clancy is scheduled to return to court today, as her legal team seeks to prevent a retrial and prosecutors weigh what comes next following the mistrial.

For now, however, the battle over the holdout juror appears to be far from finished.

Dennis Haskins Cause of the Death: Mr. Belding on ‘Saved By the Bell’ Passed

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We have tragic news to report from the world of television.

Dennis Haskins — the actor best known for playing Principal Richard Belding on Saved by the Bell –has died at the age of 75.

Haskins’ death was confirmed by his longtime agent and friend, Jay Schachter, who shared the news with TMZ on Monday.

“It’s a tragic loss,” Schachter said. “Everyone loved Mr. Belding and those of us who got to know Dennis, loved him even more.”

A cause of death has not been disclosed.

And while Haskins may have spent years pretending to be exasperated by Zack Morris and the rest of the Bayside High crew, his agent says the actor was every bit as warm away from the cameras.

“He was a great person, and he loved, I mean absolutely LOVED his fans,” Schachter said.

“He always had time for them, no matter what. He was my client and dear friend for over 20 years, and I will miss him terribly.”

That affection from fans makes plenty of sense.

Haskins became a familiar face to an entire generation when he portrayed Principal Belding, the perpetually frustrated administrator tasked with keeping Bayside’s famously chaotic teenagers under control.

Belding was often forced to storm into whatever latest scheme the students had cooked up while delivering his instantly recognizable catchphrase:

“Hey, hey, hey, what is going on here?”

Few television catchphrases that can transport millions of Gen X and millinnial TV fans quite so quickly back to the 1990s.

Haskins first took on the role in Good Morning, Miss Bliss before continuing as Belding when the series became Saved by the Bell. He remained associated with the character for more than a decade, later reprising the role in Saved by the Bell: The College Years and Saved by the Bell: The New Class.

His career continued well beyond Bayside, with appearances in shows and movies including The West Wing, 7th Heaven, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, New Girl, Mad Men, and A Million Ways to Die in the West.

But for millions of fans, he will always be Mr. Belding.

And now, unfortunately, that familiar “Hey, hey, hey” is part of television history.

Our thoughts go out to Dennis Hastings’ loved ones during this difficult time.

Sydney Sweeney Shouts Out Boyfriend Scooter Braun While Modeling Lingerie

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Sydney Sweeney knows exactly what the internet likes.

And fortunately for her, they like Sydney Sweeney lingerie photos. Turns out she has an endless supply of those!

The actress and underwear mogul showed off her curves in a black bra and matching lacy underwear while promoting her lingerie brand, Syrn, over the weekend.

And because apparently a black lingerie set wasn’t enough of a statement, Sydney added a little romance to the look.

In photos shared by Syrn’s official Instagram account, the Euphoria star modeled the brand’s Smooth Cup Demi Bra in “After Dark.” The bra featured lace detailing, thin straps, V-neck cups and a tiny bow in the center.

Sydney accessorized with a gold chain necklace bearing the initials “SB” — seemingly a nod to her boyfriend, Scooter Braun.

She also shared a mirror selfie showing off the matching underwear, complete with lace straps. In another shot, she stuck out her tongue and flashed a playful smile for the camera.

Sydney’s company is rumored to be suffering from a catastrophic sales slump, and some industry analysts think the problem is that she’s putting too much focus on herself.

But it seems that she has no intention of changing course. At least not yet.

“Syd selfies, starring the Smooth Cup Demi Bra in After Dark,” Syrn captioned the photos.

Naturally, Sydney’s followers had plenty to say.

“Body is tea,” one fan commented, while another declared, “MY DIVAAA.” A third simply called her “A Goddess.”

This isn’t Sydney’s first lingerie showcase this month. Earlier in September, she modeled a pale pink bra and matching underwear for Syrn, posing for mirror selfies and photos while lounging on a bed with her laptop.

She also debuted an “SB” necklace in those photos, making it clear that her new romance has at least made its way into her jewelry collection.

Sydney and Scooter, 45, first met in June 2025 at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Venice, Italy. By April 2026, a source told Us Weekly that their relationship had become “serious.”

“They are the real deal,” the insider said at the time, adding that people around them initially thought the relationship would be “just a fling,” but the couple was committed.

Apparently, Sydney has found a way to combine business, lingerie, and a little boyfriend shoutout — all in one very Instagram-friendly package.

Her followers are loving it. And clearly, Syd is hoping that all that enthusiasm will eventually lead to an increase in sales.

Milania Giudice Had Fentanyl In Her System Ahead of Airport Meltdown, Teresa Giudice …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Teresa Giudice is shedding more light on the alarming airport incident involving her daughter.

As we previously reported, Milania Giudice posted a video in which she’s seen freaking out on her mom and telling her to “shut the f–k up” during a confrontation with airport police.

Milania quickly deleted the clip, but if she thought the drama would end there, she’s got another thing coming.

Newly released police bodycam footage from last week’s chaotic confrontation at Tampa International Airport captures Teresa making a startling claim about Milania’s recent struggles.

While speaking with an officer, Teresa said that Milania had been dabbling in hard drugs.

“I just want to save your life,” Teresa can be heard telling her daughter in the footage (per Page Six).

She then tells an officer that Milania “had fentanyl in her system.”

Milania, meanwhile, appears to offer an explanation of her own.

“’Cause I was laced, I go to college,” she says, according to the footage.

The exchange appears to reference an incident that occurred before Milania was taken to a hospital and subsequently placed under Florida’s Baker Act, which allows someone to be temporarily detained for a mental health evaluation.

It is not clear from the footage exactly when the alleged fentanyl exposure occurred, whether Milania received medical treatment for it, or what she means by saying she was “laced.”

In other portions of the bodycam footage, Teresa and Milania’s older sister, Gia Giudice, are seen trying to communicate with her as police officers assist the family.

Gia reportedly tells officers that the family had hired a counselor to help Milania.

Teresa can again be heard emphasizing that she wants to protect her daughter.

“I want to save your life,” she tells Milania.

The footage comes just days after Milania’s very public meltdown at the airport.

A post shared by Bravo Snark Side (@bravosnarkside)

Milania shared the original video of the confrontation, in which she repeatedly asked, “This is what we do now?”

Teresa responded by telling her daughter that she loved her, while Gia urged everyone to let Milania do what she wanted.

Milania then snapped at her mother, telling the Real Housewives of New Jersey star to “shut the f–k up.”

Police were called after Milania reportedly became separated from her family and counselor. Authorities were told she had been experiencing suicidal thoughts and a mental breakdown.

Milania’s representative later said she was “under the care of professionals” and surrounded by people who love her as she navigates an “incredibly difficult time.”

That difficult period has included her May arrest on a simple assault charge and the recent death of her childhood friend Victoria.

For now, Teresa and her family appear determined to get Milania whatever help she needs.

And judging by this latest bodycam footage, they’re taking that mission very seriously.

Taylor Swift ‘Ruined Music,’ Says Rock Legend Todd Rundgren

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s generally not a good idea to criticize Taylor Swift.

That’s not because she never deserves it — everyone needs to be taken down a peg now and then — rather, it’s because her legion of rabid fans will stop at nothing to destroy anyone who speaks ill of their queen.

But Todd Rundgren is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with an honorary doctorate from the Berklee College of Music, so he has reason to be confident in his opinions.

And the man is not a fan of Taylor’s.

In fact, Rundgren believes that Swift might have single-handedly “ruined music.”

Those are his words, people! Don’t shoot the messengers!

“There’s an argument to be made that she ruined music,” Rundgren told Vulture in a recent interview.

“It’s an understandable phenomenon. It’s just that, to me, Taylor Swift is the apotheosis of mediocrity.”

Rundgren went on to argue that women control the music industry these days because young men spend all their money on video games.

That argument doesn’t make a ton of sense, as no one really buys music these days, but the man was on a roll:

“That left the music market with, ‘Well, where do we go here?’” said Rundgren.

“And they said, ‘Well, there’s all these young girls and they’ve got their allowances, too.’”

He concluded his rant by listing the many ways in which Taylor is not great.

“Taylor Swift doesn’t do anything particularly great except grow hair,” he added.

‘“She’s not a great singer. She’s not a great songwriter. She’s not a great dancer. She’s a role model for what was a very young generation of women, and now for those women’s daughters as well, because it’s mothers and daughters going to Taylor Swift shows.”

Rundgren’s comments come on the heels of four new songs from Taylor that haven’t been terribly well-received.

Even diehard Swfities have been critical or indifferent regarding the tracks on The Life of a Showgirl: Encore.

But that doesn’t mean that they’ll be forgiving of Rundgren’s comments.

In fact, dude might want to enter some sort of protection program before it’s too late.
