Bo Jackson Reveals Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

Reading Time: 3 minutes

NFL and MLB legend Bo Jackson has maintained a relatively low profile since he retired from both leagues in the early 1990s.

But the 63-year-old gave a very candid interview on Thursday, and by doing so, he may have saved some lives.

During an appearance on Dan Patrick's podcast, Jackson revealed that he's in remission after battling prostate cancer.

"I am a cancer survivor," Jackson told the audience.

"I had my prostate taken out. And this is coming from somebody that a lot of men around the country look up to. If I can talk about it, we should talk about it as men."

From there, Jackson urged male listeners to set aside whatever fear or shame they might be feeling and get regular checkups.

"We think that it makes us less of a man, period," he said, referring to routine prostate checks and colonoscopies.

"The only time we talk about that is when we're behind closed doors with our doctors."

Jackson revealed that he understands the anxiety that comes with getting tested, but he encouraged men not to be "afraid to go see your doctor."

He said that he believes his treatment saved his life, and he greets each day with gratitude.

"I have two grandsons, who I have more fun with than any football game, baseball game I've ever played. My job as papa is to spoil the s–t out of my grandkids," he explained.

From 1987 to 1990, Jackson played football for the Los Angeles Raiders, while also competing for the Kansas City Royals on the baseball field.

After ending his football career, Jackson continued playing baseball, winning the American League's Comeback Player of the Year award before retiring in 1994.

Jackson also delivered his prediction for Sunday's Super Bowl this week.

Speaking with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, Jackson stated that he believes the Seattle Seahawks will emerge victorious because "they've got a complete game."

We're pretty sure everyone outside of the New England area is fond of that prediction.

Across social media, many have thanked Jackson for having the courage to speak out about his health and the importance of regular checkups.

Justin Bieber Hair Transplant Rumors EXPLODE After Grammys Performance

Reading Time: 3 minutes

After a couple of years of worrying his fans, Justin Bieber has turned things around.

His Grammy Awards performance drew many eyes, and not only because he performed in his underwear.

Bieber's hairline has once again jumped to the fore (pun mostly unintended) of fan conversation.

Did he get a hair transplant?

At the 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony, Justin Bieber surprised viewers in more ways than one. (Image Credit: CBS/Recording Academy)

First of all, he looks great

On Sunday, February 1, Justin Bieber performed for the first time in four years.

He of course made headlines — for ending his performance hiatus, and for performing solely in his underwear.

Clearly, the Biebs had been hitting the gym ahead of stripping down.

His body looked great. Better than fans expected it to, if we're being honest.

However, there was one detail that caught people's attention — and truly took some by surprise.

Everyone enjoys a good Bieber thirst trap.

But some photos panned upwards, focusing upon his hair and his hairline.

More recent snaps of the singer have shown him with his hair, especially towards the front of his scalp, appearing to thin.

Meanwhile, at the Grammy Awards, the Biebs appeared to have thicker hair.

His hairline appeared to be lower and more full. and the somewhat stubby clumps of hair might, some speculated, be evidence of a hair transplant.

should've gone to Turkey https://t.co/0Lb4WeY4IJ

— Ryanair (@Ryanair) February 3, 2026

Yeah, some people were a little mean

A European airline, Ryanair, quote-tweeted a post that had zoomed in on Bieber's alleged hair plugs.

"I can recognize a poorly done hair transplant from a mile away," claimed the original poster, one day after teh Grammys.

In their own tweet, Ryanair wrote: "Should've gone to Turkey."

Turkey has earned a reputation as a destination for surgical tourism, specifically for cosmetic procedures.

Ryanair is sharing a rather mean-spirited suggestion that people can book tickets (perhaps on Ryanair) to fly to undergo cosmetic work such as hair transplants.

A post shared by Justin Bieber (@lilbieber)

Just to be clear, Bieber has not confirmed that he underwent a hair transplant. This is merely speculation.

But it isn't just catty European brands that still choose to advertise on an evil man's social media platform who are saying it.

Under this recent Instagram post, commenters spent even more time speculating about Bieber's hair than slamming his dad. Which is saying a lot, considering.

Random social media denizens and experts alike have weighed in, describing Bieber's apparent receding hairline from around the time that he married in 2018.

(There is a known phenomenon of young men realizing that they are experiencing hair loss and then rushing to find a bride. Some believe that this is what drove Prince William to take Kate Middleton to the altar. Is that why Bieber seemed desperate to woo Selena Gomez and then immediately moved on to Hailey after striking out?)

Whatever happened, it only matters how HE likes his appearance

If Bieber did receive hair transplants, he likely underwent multiple iterations of the procedure over the course of months or even years.

And you know what? Good for him. Having more or less hair is often a part of a person's gender presentation, and everyone deserves gender affirming care.

Additionally, society can sometimes be particularly unkind to men who begin to go bald in their 20s. It is not a sign of rapid aging, it is simply an interaction of testosterone and genetics.

Some of Bieber's fans have expressed shock over his apparent hair loss. But it's normal for bodies to change, and that includes adult bodies.

For what it's worth, Bieber looks great. And we're not just saying that because of his thirst traps. Mostly.

Nancy Guthrie Ransom Note Appears to Be Legitimate, Reporter Claims

Reading Time: 3 minutes

As you've probably heard by now, Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing on Saturday night.

Police now believe that Nancy was abducted from her home and badly injured in the process.

Earlier this week, staff at TMZ claimed to have received a ransom note demanding millions in Bitcoin in exchange for Nancy's safe return.

Many were quick to dismiss the note as a hoax.

After all, they reasoned, this would be an easy way for a grifter to nab millions in Bitcoin despite having no knowledge of Nancy's whereabouts.

But now there's reason to believe that the note is legitimate.

For one thing, the Guthrie family seems to be taking it seriously. Savannah and her siblings issued a public plea for information on Wednesday night.

In the video, the Guthries requested proof of life from the authors of the ransom note.

"We, too, have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can," Savannah said at one point, adding:

"We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen."

Now, a local reporter in Tucson is claiming the outlet that she works for also received a ransom email pertaining to Nancy's disappearance.

The journalist, Mary Coleman, told CNN (via Radar Online) that it was "clear after a couple of sentences" that the note may not be "a hoax."

"A lot of it is information that only someone who was holding her for ransom would know," Coleman revealed.

She added that the note contained "very sensitive information" and "things that people who weren't there when she was taken captive wouldn't know."

These details included a "dollar amount, a deadline," and "other specifics that only Guthrie's abductor might know, so that definitely raised some red flags."

"We immediately sent that information over to the sheriff's department, and they're, of course, looking into the legitimacy of it," she said.

Obviously, all parties involved are being very selective with their comments due to the sensitivity of this situation.

We can only hope that Nancy will be returned to her loved ones soon, one way or another.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Tyler Perry ABANDONED by Friends After Latest Allegation [Report]

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Even embattled moguls can run short on friends.

In June of 2025, an actor accused Tyler Perry of sexual assault, filing a hefty lawsuit against the billionaire producer.

More recently, a second former employee came forward with a similar allegation.

A new report says that Perry's famous friends are deliberately avoiding him — for fear of whatever comes next.

Mario Rodriguez and Derek Dixon both worked for him on different projects

Years ago, Mario Rodriguez appeared in Boo! A Madea Halloween.

In December of 2025, he filed a lawsuit, accusing Perry of sexual battery.

He alleged that Perry had made unwanted sexual advances, including touching his penis through his clothing.

According to Rodriguez, this took palce when he was being cast in the film and shortly after filming wrapped in 2016.

In 2018, the two apparently got back in touch and repeatedly spoke again, with their text messages over the years appearing cordial and even friendly.

Just a smile 😊#GRAMMYs #TrendingNow #fypシviral #fypviraltwitter #X #PublicUpdates #AmericaFirst pic.twitter.com/yDgQuCrltX

— Mario Rodriguez jr (@rodriguez_16054) February 3, 2026

This of course comes on the heels of actor Derek Dixon's lawsuit, accusing Perry of using his power as an extremely influential producer to commit alleged sexual assaults and then pressure people into silence.

Dixon appeared in multiple Perry projects — most notably in The Oval. (If you weren't aware, Perry has a whole slew of projects that have entirely flown under the radar unless you stumble across them)

Prior to filing his lawsuit, Dixon filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sexual harassment complaint against Perry in 2024.

When that did not seem to induce any changes, he says, he turned to a lawsuit.

Not unlike Rodriguez, Dixon's 2025 lawsuit described Perry allegedly using his power and access as an influential producer to engage in sexual misconduct and to get away with it. (Perry has denied the allegations against him)

Now, other pals in the entertainment industry are steering clear

A RadarOnline report claims that Perry's friends and associates in the entertainment industry are giving him a wide berth.

"People are stunned by how quiet his friends are," an alleged inside source dished.

Perry's circle of friends has included everyone from Kerry Wahsington to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Barack and Michelle Obama.

But none of them have rushed to speak out to defend the billionaire entertainment mogul.

"Normally Meghan would rush out with public support," the insider suggested. "This time? Nothing. Not a word."

According to the report, this goes beyond Perry's alleged actions and bleeds into who was aware of them.

"This isn't just about Tyler anymore," claimed the source.

"It's about who knew what," the insider explained, "and when."

As we have seen with the bone-chilling horrors of the Epstein files, there are often people who do not participate in crimes who are within the orbit of a powerful, influential predator.

Simply put, you don't want to be one of the names in a story like that. Though, unlike with Epstein, the allegations surrounding Perry remain unproven and solely involve adults.

Is more coming? No one seems to know

However, there is a concern that Dixon and Rodriguez are not the only men who may come forward.

If and when the other (well, the third) shoe drops, Perry's acquaintances worry about

"No one wants to be the first celebrity photographed standing next to him if this gets worse," the alleged inside source summarized.

We have to once again emphasize that Perry has not bee convicted of a crime or successfully sued based upon these allegations. Even without more accusers, this legal dispute could continue for years.

Whatever the outcome, there will be those in or who have been in Perry's orbit who will wish that they had made different choices.

Sister Wives Season 21: It Looks to Be Happening!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Kody Brown no longer has a spiritual union with Meri, Christine or Janelle Brown.

He is legally married to only one woman at this point, Robyn Brown.

In other words: Kody no longer has any sister wives in his life.

And yet… we now have it on a very reliable authority that the TLC reality show Sister Wives will continue to air new episodes!

(TLC)

In a recent interview with Growing Up in Polygamy YouTube channel, Mykelti Brown Padron — the daughter of Christine and Kody — told the hosts that executives appear to have picked up the series for a 21st season.

"I will say that none of the parents have the same filming schedule that they used to have," Mykelti explained, confirming that shooting has gotten underway, even if it looks different from the past.

"It's been two weeks of filming, two weeks off," she added. "But this last six months or so, the filming has been very, very minuscule. It's sporadic. So, filming has been less."

TLC has not yet made any announcements about the future of Sister Wives.

(TLC)

The network has continued to support the show despite the many changes that have taken place of late within the Brown household.

As Mykelti herself admits, there really can't be that many seasons remaining of Sister Wives.

"I think [the show] is fizzling. Because it's not Sister Wives anymore. You know, they're all ex-wives now," she told the aforementioned outlet.

Indeed, Christine left Kody in late 2021; Janelle did the same a few months later; and then Meri and Kody confirmed their divorce in early 2023.

On the latest run of the program, Kody went around to his former spouses and tries to issue an apology for all the terrible ways he treated them.

(TLC)

For her part, though, Mykelti would sort of prefer it if Kody worked on his relationships with his children.

"Several of my siblings have blocked him," Mykelti said during this new interview. "I know which ones have, but I'm not going to say it, but I do know that there are several of my siblings who have told him point-blank, 'Do not ever contact me again.'"

She continued, clearly critical of her father:

"So obviously with those, he's still going to generalize us, and he's not going to name us by name. But he isn't actively reaching out [to them] and seeking that relationship."

On the November 6 episode of Fox's Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, Brown actually broke down while admitting to his own shortcomings as a father to his sons and daughters.

(TLC)

"I should have had a stronger relationship with my children," Brown told a couple fellow contestants on this reality program.

"I'm at a place in my life now where I'm very willing to say that I've been wrong," he added, actually starting to cry on air.

"My failures were because I didn't know about being a good dad and husband, and I thought I did. I really thought I did, and I misunderstood that. I did it wrong in so many ways, and I hated being blamed for it, and so it made me resistant to ownership."

Sounds like a fresh perspective.

However, Mykelti added of her father's attempts to reconcile when speaking to the aforementioned channel:

"I think he could try harder. He's not trying as hard as he could, and there's room for improvement."

Erika Kirk Says Turning Point USA Super Bowl Halftime Show Will Draw ‘Larger …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Bad Bunny may have won Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

But Erika Kirk says he still can't hold a candle to Kid Rock.

As we previously reported, Erika and Turning Point USA will be hosting their own halftime show on Super Bowl Sunday — an alternative for viewers who are inexplicably offended by the fact that Bad Bunny is headlining the actual halftime show.

No one has ever attempted to upstage the biggest broadcast of the year before.

But Erika is confident that her All-American Halftime Show will draw a massive crowd.

In fact, she believes that the concert — featuring Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett — will be watched by a "larger audience" than Bad Bunny's performance with special guests Green Day.

"For us to be able to provide an alternative that's pro-America, that's just pro everything, that that's not the opposite of what they're putting out there, I don't want to go into details and bash that, because there's apparently an audience that wants that," Kirk said during a recent appearance on Fox News' The Story with Martha MacCallum (via Newsweek), adding:

"But there's a larger audience that wants ours. And so we are going to make it very amazing. I'm so excited."

Erika, of course, is the widow of Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed during a speaking engagement in September.

Asked how her late husband would feel about the All-American Halftime Show, Erika enthusiastically replied that he would be thrilled.

"He [Charlie Kirk] would be fist-pumping with this. He'd be so stoked," she said.

"The artists that have teamed up with us, I just want to say thank you to them… It's very brave of them to do this.

"And they have partnered with us without hesitation. And it's actually been a huge blessing. And it's going to be an unbelievable halftime show."

Erika went on to say that she considers the alternative halftime show to be the ultimate tribute to Charlie.

"What better way to honor him than just to get in the middle of this and be able to offer an alternative to families?" she asked.

Several conservative influencers have already vowed to turn off Bad Bunny and tune into Erika's broadcast.

"I'll take this over Woke Bunny any day of the week," Donald Trump Jr. tweeted after the lineup was announced.

But will it really draw a "larger audience" than the actual Super Bowl halftime show? Seems unlikely, but only time will tell!

Britney Spears: I’m Lucky to Be Alive! I’m Still Scared of My Family!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

She can forgive, but will never forget.

Britney Spears is opening up about her feelings amidst what looks like repeated pushes to give her family financial control over her again.

After so many years in that dreadful conservatorship, she feels "lucky to even be alive."

Now, she feels "scared" of her family. And can you blame her?

In 2016, Britney Spears answered questions backstage. (Image Credit: E! News)

'We can forgive as people, but u don't ever forget'

On Wednesday, February 4, Britney took to her Instagram page to share a very personal post.

"As people, all we really want is to feel connected to each other and never feel alone," her caption began.

"For those of you in your family that have said to help you is to isolate you," Britney wrote, "and make you feel unbelievably left out … they were wrong."

It is clear that she is talking about her own harrowing years under a conservatorship. It is also clear that she knows that she is not the only person to have suffered under a family's control.

"We can forgive as people," Britney expressed, "but u don't ever forget."

Taking to her Instagram caption, Britney Spears admitted to feeling lucky to be alive and afraid of her family. Those are reasonable ways to feel. (Image Credit: Instagram)

"Yearning and longing for contact is always crucial !!!" Britney then affirmed.

"I'm incredibly lucky to even be alive," she acknowledged.

Britney continued: "With how my family treated me once in my life."

She then revealed: "And now I'm scared of them."

Considering the extent to which many believe that at least some of her relatives want to get her back under their financial control, that sounds very sensible.

'I'm incredibly lucky to even be alive'

"It's weird how God works in mysterious ways," Britney commented.

"My friends, what do you think he is saying today ???" she asked, presumably probing her Christian fans for input.

"Because to be totally honest with you," Britney confessed, "no matter what he says, they will never take responsibility for what they did."

On a brighter note, she continued: "So I've made cheesecake today and I must say it's pretty damn good."

Britney added: "My neighbor joined me with milk !!!"

A post shared by Britney Spears (@britneyspears)

At the end of her caption, Britney wrote: "PS I haven't danced in a month because I broke my toe twice!"

We're so sorry to hear that!

In December, we reported on Britney's injury.

While there are certainly some very loud people who seem to become enraged when she dances (or try to frame it as something that should see her stripped of her human rights), we hope that she heals up quickly.

And it's good to hear that she had a neighbor who could bring over some milk. Borrowing baking ingredients is an old-timey trope among neighbors, but it happens less and less as our culture's toxic individualism leaves us more and more alone.

She's free — and will, hopefully, remain free

Britney is far from the first adult who had to claw their way out of their toxic family's control.

It's just that most people don't have such a public spectacle surrounding their fight for freedom.

(Also, countless people remain under their family's thumb — and not ever awful parent needs a conservatorship to do it)

It's very clear that Britney knows that she's not alone in still feeling shaken by her years without core human rights.

Right now, it sounds like she's aware of the push to use her every word and action to turn public consensus away from her rights. Hopefully, no one will fall for it.
