Hunter Biden Comes Out as Bisexual: ‘I’m 48.5% Gay’

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Hunter Biden has been making the media rounds lately, and many of the former first son’s comments have generated headlines.

Just yesterday, Hunter revealed that his father, Joe Biden, would visit him with a Secret Service motorcade when he was in the lowest depths of his crack addiction.

Hunter has developed a reputation for radical honesty, but following his revelation that he’s “48.6 percent gay,” the internet is divided on whether he was genuinely coming out or just cracking a joke.

The revelation took place during Biden’s recent appearance on Luke Beasley’s popular podcast.

“Let’s get serious. I am gay,” Beasley told Biden, who sarcastically replied, “Really? Wow. Seriously. I’m so amazed you’re gay.”

“Are you gay?” Besaley asked, to which Biden replied, “Only a little bit.”

Hunter elaborated, explaining that he thinks of himself as “more or less than 50 percent” gay.

“If you were gay, would I be your type?” Beasley asked.

“No, a little bit more masculine would be my type, if I was gay,” Biden jokingly replied.

Hunter later brought the conversation back around to what he called “the gay question.”

“Maybe I take back 48.5. More like 47 after that conversation. My gaydom went down a percentage point,” he said.

“I just wanted to let you know that I am back up to 48.5 percent gay.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Biden made remarks (including “Is this fucking serious?”)

Biden was married to Kathleen Buhle ​from 1993 to 2017, with whom he shares daughters Naomi, Finnegan, and Maisy.

He married current wife Melissa Cohen in 2019, with whom he welcomed a son named Beau Biden Jr.

He also has a daughter by former partner Lunden Roberts, named Navy Joan Roberts.

So Biden has never previously given any public indication of bisexuality.

But then again, he’s been speaking more candidly than ever in recent months, opening up about aspects of his life that he’s never spoken of before.

So it’s possible that Hunter only now feels comfortable enough to open up about his sexuality.

Of course, given the context, it’s equally possible that he was just joking.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter either way. But you can be sure that that won’t prevent social media users from obsessing over these remarks.

Lionel Richie Hospitalized, In Intensive Care After Concert

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Music icon and grandfather Lionel Richie is in the ICU.

The singer was hospitalized over the weekend after falling ill during a concert.

It was not his first time in the hospital this summer.

Was Saturday his final concert?

Lional Richie is in Intensive Care

On Saturday, August 29, Lionel Richie performed at The Muny in Forest Park.

Following that evening’s St. Louis performance, TMZ reports, Richie checked himself in to a local hospital.

He reportedly sought to have tests run after not feeling well.

How, he is apparently in the intensive care unit (ICU).

What was wrong?

According to TMZ‘s sources, the legendary singer is in the ICU out of an abundance of caution.

Doctors are looking into what may be as minor as dehydration.

His hope, the report says, is for the hospital to discharge him on Tuesday, September 1.

We certainly share that hope. And so do his fans.

If it is dehydration, he still did the right thing by seeking medical attention. If you can afford healthcare, it’s better safe than sorry.

There was another incident in June

TMZ‘s report also includes information gleaned from attendees at the St. Louis concert.

Lionel Richie was reportedly “struggling a bit” as the show neared its conclusion.

At one point, he even reportedly asked his team to bring a chair out onto the stage.

The chair allowed him to sit (obviously) as he performed “All Night Long,” his final song of the night.

Performing is exhausting and some songs just fit the vibe better if the singer is seated. However, in light of his hospitalization a short time later, perhaps he was already experiencing symptoms.

If you’re unsure why Richie is being so cautious with his health, well, there’ some precedent.

In June, the music icon ended up rushing to the hospital via ambulance in St. Paul.

He was performing at a concert there, too, when he told the audience that he felt “dizzy” and “strange.”

That time, the show ended abruptly, and paramedics met him backstage.

We hope that all is well. We hope that it is dehydration and not some dire illness — or a strange allergy to cities with “Saint” in the name.

Kelly Clarkson Ends Show With Tearful Farewell After 7 Years

Reading Time: 2 minutes

After 7 years, The Kelly Clarkson Show is saying goodbye.

The eponymous host signed off, bringing her kids onto the stage to bid farewell to the daytime talk show.

Clarkson performed plenty of songs — her own hits as well as long-requested covers.

She thanked all of the people who helped to make the show possible, including the viewers at home.

‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ is over after 7 years

Monday, August 31, was the end of an era.

“My kiddos have always come first, they’re a big reason I did this show, just [for] the stability, the schedule,” Kelly Clarkson told the audience.

12-year-old daughter, River, and 10-year-old son, Remington, both sat in the audience.

“They’re also a big reason it’s time to say goodbye,” Clarkson added.

Clarkson’s ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, passed away in August of 2025. Since then, her family’s life has changed its trajectory — and her priorities have, understandably, shifted.

“I’m such a proud mama,” Clarkson described during the finale.

She praised: “They’re the greatest kiddos in the world.”

Highlighting how much time has passed, Clarkson recalled: “When we started, River was in kindergarten.”

She continued: “She’s now about to be in middle school, which is crazy.”

Clarkson added: “My son, Remington, he had his singing debut on stage with [a] Frank Sinatra [song, ‘My Way’].”

‘This has been an incredible opportunity’

“I want to thank everyone on our staff and crew, my band, the viewers and every single guest who joined us on the show,” Kelly Clarkson expressed.

“For seven years,” she acknowledged, “I’ve ended each episode by saying, ‘Have a great day. And if it’s not, change it.’”

Clarkson explained: “I say that because while we have to accept that life is totally out of our control, each moment truly depends on how we choose to respond and react to it.”

It is certainly true that we cannot control the world or others. We can control our reactions — and our actions.

She then quoted: “‘You don’t have to attend the negative party you’ve been invited to,’ I’ve been told by a therapist.”

Clarkson gushed to viewers that she “loved being in your homes each day.”

She added that she “loved seeing my kiddos grow up on this show.”

Clarkson expressed: “I have immeasurable gratitude for everyone here.”

She gushed: “Thank you so much. This has been an incredible opportunity.”

Clarkson certainly has her critics, but that was a solid sendoff, acknowledging the role of many who worked together to make the series run for seven years.

Taylor Swift Iced Out Blake Lively on Her Birthday [Report]

Reading Time: 2 minutes

After everything, Taylor Swift could have reached out to Blake Lively on her birthday just a few days ago.

Reportedly, she did not.

On top of apparently ghosting her godchildren, Taylor seems unwilling to extend an olive branch.

Is there any way back for their once-fabled friendship? Evidently not.

Taylor Swift had one last chance to reach out to Blake Lively

On August 25, Blake Lively turned 39 years old — with no sign of any tribute or contact from Taylor Swift.

Rob Shuter reported on his Naughty But Nice Substack page about what an alleged inside source shared.

“Blake was absolutely hoping Taylor would reach out,” the insider claimed.

“A text. Flowers. Even two words: ‘Happy birthday,'” the source listed as examples of a birthday message.

It would not have had to be public! A text, a DM can say much more than a performative public decree.

“Nothing came,” the insider alleged.

The source explained: “That silence said everything.”

According to the insider, “Blake kept telling herself there was a path back” even after Taylor began icing her out during her legal war with Justin Baldoni.

“She thought time would cool everything down,” the source reasoned.

“And,” the insider continued, “Taylor would eventually remember how much they loved each other.”

‘Taylor has moved on’

“The birthday changed that,” the inside source shared sadly.

The insider explained: “Taylor has moved on.”

According to the source: “Blake finally understands she cannot force Taylor back into her life.”

It was, so to speak, the final nail in the coffin of their friendship.

“You can ignore a lot of signs,” the insider summarized. “It’s harder to ignore your birthday.”

It is sad that perhaps the biggest casualty of all of this is Blake Lively and Taylor Swift’s friendship.

Perhaps there is something that we don’t know. Perhaps Blake really did wrong Taylor during all of this, rather than merely be the reason that Justin Baldoni was able to almost drag her into the court battle.

Justin Baldoni took a major victory lap earlier this summer, even though he didn’t really win anything and had to pay Blake’s court fees.

It’s sad to think that these DARVO tactics that we all saw employed seemed to work on some overly credulous members of the public. This guy has new fans from the manosphere side of the internet. It will be interesting to see what he does next with his career, unfortunately.

Perhaps the most important lesson in all of this is that Blake knows the difference between her real friends and friends of convenience.

Lindsay Clancy’s Lawyer Says Letters of Support Are Piling Up as Jury Deliberations …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial came to a close last week, and jurors began their fourth day of deliberation this morning.

And as the millions await the outcome with bated breath, Clancy continues to receive words of encouragement from her sizable army of supporters.

As the wait for a verdict continued, Clancy’s attorney revealed Monday that the Massachusetts mother has received a deluge of mail from people who believe her story is far more complicated than the horrific deaths of her three children might suggest.

According to defense attorney Kevin Reddington, Clancy has received enough letters from supporters to fill three banker boxes.

And Reddington says Clancy reads every single one.

“She knows there are people out there that have not judged her,” Reddington told reporters (via NBC News), explaining that the letters have provided his client with emotional support while she waits to learn her fate.

That support is hardly a new development.

Back in 2023, shortly after Clancy was accused of killing her three children, dozens of friends, coworkers and even complete strangers sent letters to her defense attorney.

The correspondence painted a dramatically different picture of Clancy than the one presented by prosecutors.

Former colleagues described her as a loving mother and dedicated labor and delivery nurse.

One coworker wrote, “I do not know a better mother than Lindsay Clancy,” adding that she “lived and breathed for her children.”

Another described Clancy as “kind, compassionate, patient, empathetic” and devoted to her family. And then there were the mothers who didn’t even know Clancy personally.

Nearly 100 women signed a letter expressing sympathy for what they believed was her struggle with postpartum mental illness. Many said they could relate to the despair and psychological difficulties that can follow childbirth.

“We want to stand by her in her darkest hour,” the mothers wrote.

Other letters came from people around the country and even internationally, with some sharing their own experiences with postpartum mental illness and expressing concern about the treatment Clancy received before the killings.

Those letters have become particularly significant to the defense as Reddington argues that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she killed 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan.

Now, more than three years after the children’s deaths, the support continues to arrive.

Clancy remains nervous and “scared” as the jury deliberates, according to her attorney. But she apparently has plenty of reminders that there are people who believe the woman on trial cannot be reduced to the worst act of her life.

As a nation looks on, the jury could deliver a verdict at any moment.

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

Jenny Slatten & Sumit Singh Share Sad ALS & Visa Updates with ’90 Day …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Sumit Singh and Jenny Slatten have a serious update on her deteriorating condition.

The 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way fan favorites previously revealed that Jenny has ALS.

Now, thanking fans and donors for their support, they shared that Jenny struggles to speak and walk.

Sumit is hoping to get a visa so that the two can travel to the US for, they hope, better healthcare for Jenny.

Jenny Slatten’s ALS symptoms are worsening

Taking to social media, Sumit Singh and Jenny Slatten shared an update about how ALS is impacting Jenny, their marriage, and their lives.

“I can’t talk,” Jenny revealed in the first of several videos.

“Unfortunately, the ALS is progressing, and now it’s showing more in her [speech]. Like, it’s hard for her to talk now,” Sumit explained.

He added: “Again, [it’s hard for her to] walk and mentally, it’s bad as well.”

As Jenny spine and neck weaken, she has struggled with balance and movement. These symptoms began long before her diagnosis in December 2025.

“Jenny is getting weaker, so it’s about time that we will start using the equipment,” Sumit shared.

This was apparently a reference to mobility aids, whether in the form of a walker, wheelchair, or something else.

“Maybe soon you will see that Jenny will be on some kind of support system [that] we can buy here and use it,” he suggested.

However, that is not their long-term plan.

Sumit and Jenny shared that they believe that she might be able to get better medical assistance in the US, where — among other things — her health insurance can help pay for medical care.

Last month, Sumit filed for an emergency visa to be able to visit the US

“So yeah, it’s progressing, but we were thinking that we could come to America to get proper treatment,” Sumit Singh explained with wife Jenny Slatten by his side.

“I still try to have high hopes,” he expressed.

Sumit affirmed: “I try to hope that America might have something better for Jenny and [that] she could get, at least, a better support system.”

There is no cure for ALS at this time. However, there are treatments to ease symptoms.

Additionally, Jenny’s daughter, Christina, lives in Palm Springs. It seems likely that Jenny would prefer to be around family.

Jenny’s doctor has advised her against traveling alone, given her mobility struggles. These struggles are likely to get worse as time goes on.

For many 90 Day Fiance couples, getting the visa is a central part of the story. Most have already filed and paid for the visa, but a few storylines involved people trying but failing to get a K-1 visa — or secretly not pursuing one at all.

Sumit wants to accompany his wife, not only to assist her while she travels, but to be by her side because he loves her.

He fears that, if he cannot get a visa, “It means that we’re going to be apart, apart forever.”

2026 is unfortunately a terrible time to need to apply for a visa of any kind, particularly for someone with brown skin. We hope that Sumit and Jenny are somehow able to make this work. They sacrificed so much to be together already.

Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis Found GUILTY In Tupac Shakur Murder Trial

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was gunned down in Las Vegas, the rapper’s family has finally received some long-awaited justice.

On Monday, a Nevada jury found Duane “Keffe D” Davis guilty of first-degree murder in connection with Shakur’s 1996 killing.

Davis, 63, was the only person ever criminally charged in the death of the hip-hop icon, whose murder had long been one of the most infamous unsolved cases in US history.

The verdict came after a roughly two-week trial and just a few hours of deliberation.

Prosecutors argued that Davis orchestrated the deadly shooting as retaliation after Shakur and members of his entourage were involved in a physical altercation with Davis’ nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, at the MGM Grand earlier that night.

Shakur was riding in a BMW with Death Row Records co-founder Marion “Suge” Knight when a white Cadillac pulled alongside them at a Las Vegas intersection on September 7, 1996.

Shakur was struck by multiple bullets and died from his injuries six days later at the age of 25. Knight was also injured but survived.

Anderson was long suspected of being the shooter, but he was killed in 1998 and was never charged in Shakur’s death.

That left Davis as the lone surviving member of the group prosecutors say was involved in the attack.

And, unfortunately for Davis, he had spent years talking about it.

Prosecutors placed significant emphasis on Davis’ own statements, including comments he made during police interviews and accounts published in his 2019 memoir.

According to prosecutors, Davis admitted that he was in the Cadillac and provided the gun used in the shooting.

“Let’s be clear, Duane Davis did not pull the trigger,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told jurors. “But he did plan the shooting in retaliation of the beating of his nephew.”

Davis’ defense team attempted to poke holes in those statements, arguing that he had exaggerated or fabricated his involvement over the years.

They also maintained there was no independent evidence placing Davis in Las Vegas or inside the Cadillac on the night of Shakur’s murder.

But the jury ultimately wasn’t buying it. Davis now faces the possibility of life in prison.

For Tupac’s fans, the verdict closes a chapter that has remained open for nearly three decades.

The rapper’s death sparked endless speculation, conspiracy theories, and competing accounts of what happened that night.

Now, for the first time, someone has been held criminally responsible for the killing of one of the most influential artists of his generation.
