Christina Applegate ‘Might Not Have a Tomorrow’ Amid Worsening MS Battle: …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Last week, we reported on the upsetting news that actress Christina Applegate had been hospitalized.

Christina has been battling MS for several years now.

And while she’s shown tremendous courage throughout the process, the disease is a progressive one that usually gets worse with time.

And with recent news that her condition appears to be deteriorating rapidly, those closest to Applegate are fearing the worst.

“With every setback, if we are being realistic, everyone has it in the back of their minds that they might not have a tomorrow with her,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.

“Christina is a fighter, but her battle with MS has been treacherous. She has better days and really bad days; she doesn’t have great days. She’s always dealing with something. It sucks,” the insider continues, adding:

“But when she does look at things positively it makes her feel better in the moment because she has so many friends that are there for her, even to listen to her, cry with her and anything in between.”

Despite all of the concerns about Christina’s recent downturn, however, her friends say they remain optimistic.

“Nobody is planning to be at a funeral. Granted, her disease will take her sooner than anyone would like it to be, but everyone has trust in her medical team and her will to live,” says the source.

In a recent podcast interview, Christina revealed that she’s mostly confined to bed and that her life is “a living hell.”

“I don’t enjoy living. I don’t enjoy things anymore,” she said. “She’s in rough shape. But people aren’t thinking that this is the end.

Applegate also opened up about the extreme weight loss she’s endured as a result of her illness, noting that she recently lost 50 pounds in a span of just months.

“Sometimes the weight loss bothered me more than the disease,” she said, adding that “everything just dropped off of me” as a result of her treatments.

“Within seven months, all of it was gone, and I was down by 50 pounds or more. These days, my legs are tinier than they’ve ever been,” Christina wrote in her memoir, You With the Sad Eyes.

“The illness has given me serious stomach issues,” she continued, adding:

“As I write this, there are tamales downstairs that are the best tamales you could ever have – I want to eat five of them right now, I’m so hungry – but I know if I do, I’ll probably end up in the ER again, as I have so many times recently.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Christina and her family as they continue to battle this terrible illness together.

Dakota Mortensen Posts About Regret, Focusing on Parenthood After Authorities Drop …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In the weeks that followed that first piece of dramatic Taylor Frankie Paul footage, the world has learned a lot about a deeply complex and upsetting situation.

She temporarily lost custody of her child. Less importantly, ABC shelved a full episode of The Bachelorette, Meghan Wants a Millionaire style.

After so much light has been shed on the abuse claims, Taylor will not face prosecution for alleged incidents earlier this year.

Now, Dakota Mortensen is making a public statement. And it’s an apology — of sorts.

‘I’ve taken a step back’

So late on the night of Sunday, April 19 that it was already Monday morning in most of the world, Dakota shared a message on his Instagram page.

“Over the past several weeks,” he began, “I’ve taken a step back and had time away from the chaos.”

Dakota wrote: “That space has been a breath of fresh air and has given me clarity.”

He claimed: “My focus now is where it should have been all along — on my son.”

Dakota continued: “And creating a stable, healthy environment for him moving forward.”

In the wee hours of April 20, 2026, Dakota Mortensen posted this apology of sorts. (Image Credit: Instagram)

“I regret not stepping away from a difficult cycle sooner,” Dakota expressed.

“I’m not perfect, and I take accountability for my part,” he alleged. “I’m sincerely sorry to those I’ve hurt.”

Dakota continued: “At the same time, I don’t agree with how this situation has been portrayed publicly.”

According to him: “It does not reflect the full context of what occurred or the impact it has had on me and my son.”

Dakota wrote that he has “chosen to step away from the spotlight to focus on my family, my growth, and our healing, and that’s where my energy will remain.”

‘For now, my priority is … showing up as the best father I can be’

The reality TV personality added: “I’m closing an unhealthy chapter and moving forward with hope for better days ahead.”

He expressed: “I’m grateful for all of the encouragement and support I’ve received.”

Dakota continued: “And I’m committed to showing up in a way that reflects that.”

He wrote: “My intention, over time and when appropriate, is to use what I’ve learned in a way that supports others navigating similar situations.”

Dakota concluded: “For now, my priority is on showing up as the best father I can be for Ever.”

In case that last line caused confusion, Ever is the name of the 2-year-old son that he and Taylor Frankie Paul share.

The timing of his post seems like it’s not a coincidence. Authorities have announced that they will not be pursuing criminal charges against Taylor.

Even without ample seeds of doubt — like allegations of abuse and questions of Dakota’s motives during the media circus of recent months — domestic violence cases are difficult to prove.

Some believe that all of this ugliness in the public square played out because Dakota felt jealous of Taylor moving on, as the exes had repeatedly hooked up despite being “over.” The Bachelorette had clearly gotten under his skin.

If that’s true, perhaps he realized that this was more than his family could handle. Taylor clearly has some growing to do, though she may be off to a good start.

D4vd Charged With Murdering 14-Year-Old Celeste Rivas Hernandez

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Back in September of 2025, the dismembered body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found in the trunk of an impounded Tesla belonging to R&B singer D4vd.

Last week, D4vd was arrested for Hernandez’s murder. And today he was formally charged with murder.

Prosecutors waited until the last possible minute and would have had to release D4vd from custody today if they had not brought charges.

In a press conference, a spokesperson for the LAPD explained that D4vd has been charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, mutilating a body, and first degree murder with special circumstances.

As TMZ notes, that last charge makes him eligible for the death penalty.

According to police, D4vd murdered Celeste on April 23, 2025, but did not mutilate her body until May 5th.

It’s unclear how police arrived at those dates, but Rivas was reported missing just days before her murder.

Investigators also allege that “D4vd did unlawfully engage in three and more acts of ‘substantial sexual conduct’” with Rivas.

According to the timeline put forth by police, Celeste could have been as young as 12 when the alleged abuse happened.

The “special circumstances” cited by police include lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness to an investigation.

It’s unclear at this time if D4vd — whose real name is David Burke — will be eligible for parole, but it seems highly unlikely.

Lawyers for the 21-year-old recently issued a statement denying any wrongdoing on behalf of their client.

“Let us be clear – the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death,” attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter said.

Investigators say Rivas’ body was so badly mutilated that she needed to be identified by her tattoos.

According to LA County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman, Rivas’ “dismembered and decomposed remains were found in two bags.” Parts of the body remain missing,

“The investigation was to determine who killed, who murdered, Celeste months and months before,” Hochman added.

“She was never heard from again,” he said of Rivas’ sudden disappearance in April of last year.

Rivas’ body was found in the trunk of a car when impound lot employees began to complain of a foul odor emanating from the vehicle.

The car was registered in D4vd’s name, but it was not clear if he had ever driven it. At the time of the discovery, the singer was in Minneapolis as part of his first nationwide tour.

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

Katy Perry Pregnant with Justin Trudeau’s Baby: The Rumor & The Truth

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In recent months, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s relationship has grown increasingly serious.

What began as a joke-prompting dinner date and a random entanglement has clearly blossomed into something more.

Now, a report has come out claiming that the singer is pregnant.

Is this true? Here’s everything that we know.

Is Katy Perry secretly Katy Pregnante?

On Thursday, February 19, a bold announcement took social media by storm.

The tweet showed a photo of Perry and Trudeau, one that appeared to show the two decked out in winter gear to enjoy this gorgeous weather.

It was the caption, however, that drew people’s attention.

“Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are expecting their first child together,” the tweet reads.

As you can imagine, this elicited quite a reaction.

— Pop Drug (@PopDrug) February 19, 2026

Some bombarded the once-surprising power couple with congratulations.

Others expressed judgment — for having a pregnancy so soon after kicking off their relationship just last summer.

Many of the replies were, as always, filtered by people’s opinions of these famous and famously hot people.

However, others stopped to question the source of the news. And its validity, of course.

Pop Drug, which tweeted the announcement, isn’t TMZ or The Hollywood Reporter or People or even, say, Deuxmoi. Is the pregnancy news even true?

There is no credible evidence to support the pregnancy claim

Katy Perry has not made an announcement to this effect.

Justin Trudeau has not made an announcement to this effect.

No first-to-know tabloids — the sorts of well-connected operations that directly contact verified sources or might get tips directly from hospital staff or employees of celebrities — have made a report.

We’re not even seeing lesser-known sites claiming to have harder-to-verify reports to this effect.

Could Perry be pregnant? Sure, probably. In her early 40s, it would be a geriatric pregnancy, but probably possible. But possible doesn’t mean that it’s happening.

It is pretty important for everyone to vet their reports a little more closely.

Even if you aren’t familiar with a publication, most will cite their sources — allowing you to trace a rumor back to its origin.

We here at THG will discuss entertainment news rumors like this one and provide all of the information that we have on hand.

In fact, it seems that way may have inspired this apparent social media prank was simply the above Instagram post by Perry.

“Let love be the revolution,” she wrote alongside a series of photos — some featuring Trudeau.

Not every bit of disinformation has a motive

Obviously, there are times when people flood social media with fake news to rot people’s hearts and minds to win elections or promote a business or wage a smear campaign.

But people will also just post brazen lies (or unproven rumors) on social media for its own sake.

Some people are pranksters at heart.

If Perry and Trudeau decide to have a kid, we have a feeling that the world will learn of it through credible reports or by their own announcement.

In the mean time, it’s wise to double-check whose post you’re reading before you take it at face value. (Also, it is 2026 — stop reading tweets altogether!)

Chrissy Froyd Fired By USA Today Following Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini Affair Allegations

Reading Time: 3 minutes

There’s a new twist in the ongoing Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini scandal.

On Thursday, we reported that an NFL journalist had tweeted new claims about Russini’s alleged affairs, claiming that Russini had inappropriate relationships with both Vrabel and LA Rams coach Sean McVay.

Today, that reporter, Chrissy Froyd, has been fired from her job at USA Today.

“USA TODAY Sports has ended its contractor relationship with Crissy Froyd effective immediately. Her recent statements do not reflect our commitment to professionalism or uphold our principles of ethical conduct,” the outlet said in a statement.

In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Froyd acknowledged her firing and stated that she has no regrets about her calling out Russini:

“I would like to acknowledge the statements put out about me recently and that I am also no longer with USA TODAY SMG,” Froyd wrote, adding:

“I regret zero of what I said and stand beside it. If you want to talk, my messages are open. My email is operative, too.

The biggest thing about all this that pains me is that other women don’t feel like they can speak out because I’ve been “reprimanded.”

Oh yes. You can.

Do it. I’ll stand with you.

God, don’t you hear “under my thumb” playing somewhere

— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) April 17, 2026

“I feel I’ve been very transparent and did nothing wrong. I also find it so interesting that a Nancy Armour column was able to be published about Dianna Russini setting women back on USAT, but that my comments as a freelancer on my own social media about her were not fine.”

“The biggest thing about all this that pains me is that other women don’t feel like they can speak out because I’ve been ‘reprimanded,'” Froyd wrote in a separate tweet, adding:

“Oh yes. You can. Do it. I’ll stand with you. God, don’t you hear ‘under my thumb’ playing somewhere.

“Be bold and speak out. Will it make a martyr out of you? Maybe. But some things are worth it and some are not. This was.”

The Froyd drama began on Thursday when she responded to Russini’s announcement that she had resigned from her post at The Athletic.

That decision came as a result of photos that showed Russini hugging and holding hands with Vrabel following NFL meeting in Arizona last month.

Both parties are married to other people. In her resignation letter, Russini denied any wrongdoing.

“I’m sure you were told to submit this or that you’d get fired instead,” Froyd tweeted on Thursday, referring to Russini’s letter.

“Don’t let the door hit you on the way out…We know who you really are and what you’ve been up to for years. It does so much detriment to women in sports who have done things the right way.”

She went on to allege that Russini also had an inappropriate relationship with McVay during his time as offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders.

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

Sydney Sweeney Goes Topless to Promote ‘Seductress’ Lingerie Line

Reading Time: 2 minutes

For a lot of people, 2026 is off to a very rocky start.

But amid all the reports of war and corruption and environmental collapse, there are still reasons to be optimistic.

For example, Sydney Sweeney has launched a lingerie line, and she promotes it by wearing the items herself.

The brand is called SYRN (pronounced “siren”), and it’s divided into five different collections.

Each time new items drop, Sydney models them on her Instagram page, which makes perfect sense.

If she picked someone else for the job, it would only create confusion. It would be like if Elon Musk hired someone hired a guy to be awkward on social media for him. He can just do that himself!

Anyway, first came the Seductress, which carried a femme fatale vibe featuring corsets and garters. Old school lingerie.

Then Sydney released Romantic, which had a softer and lacier vibe. Playful was the name suggests, more fun and sporty.

Then came Comfy, which was the most casual of the bunch.

Now, we’re getting a second round of Seductress releases. And as usual, both the lingerie and the model are receiving rave reviews on Instagram.

“A lil bit more of our seductress,” Sydney wrote in her caption, a play on words worthy of Shakespeare.

Predictably, the post quickly racked up hundreds of thousands of likes and an astonishing number of ultra-thirsty comments.

“GIRL YOU’RE SO STUNNING,” wrote one user.

“Internet is on its knees!!!” added another.

A third chimed in by basically writing an ode to the Euphoria star and lingerie mogul:

“Amidst the hellish battles raging in the Middle East between America and Israel against Iran, there is something beautiful that brings a smile and a sense of joy,” this person wrote,” adding:

“Sydney Sweeney and seeing her work and projects flourishing. There are beautiful women, yes, but the most beautiful of all in every way is Sydney Sweeney.”

Now, we’re sure Sydney is used to people being weird about her on the internet. But it still must feel a little strange.

But hey, she’s a natural-born star who seems perfectly comfortable in the spotlight.

While some celebs seem to hate every second of being famous (looking at you, Chappell Roan!), Sydney has worked hard for this moment, and she’s clearly enjoying every second of it.

Ethan Hawke Divorced: His History of Marriage, Explained

Reading Time: 3 minutes

From The Dead Poets Society to Moon Knight, Ethan Hawke is an acting legend.

And he’s not the only one in his family — including exes — to be a household name.

Hawke has been married and divorced over the years.

Here’s a look at his history — and where things stand today.

Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman

In 1996, Hawke met Uma Thurman while the two were filming the 1997 film, Gattaca.

The two married on May 1, 1998.

Hawke and Thurman were an instant power couple, for being acclaimed actors and for both being one of the hottest stars of the ’90s.

In 1998, they welcomed Maya Hawke — who is arguably just as famous as her parents, these days.

Levon, born in 2002, also went into acting. What a talented family!

Unfortunately, the marriage did not last.

In 2003, Thurman and Hawke separated.

Then, in 2004, she filed for divorce.

It is widely believed that Hawke cheating on Thurman, though she has repeatedly declined to badmouth her ex.

Amidst “humiliating” tabloid scrutiny, they finalized their divorce in August 2005.

Ethan Hawke and Ryan Shawhughes

According to Ethan Hawke, he and Ryan Shawhughes only began dating a year after his divorce from Thurman.

Shawhughes is a Columbia University graduate.

Briefly, she worked as a nanny for Hawke and Thurman’s children.

(Yes, that sounds complex!)

Hawke has publicly confirmed that his divorce was unrelated to Shawhughes. Like we said, complex!

In June of 2008, Hawke and Shawhughes married.

The following month, they welcomed their first child as a couple, Clementine.

Then, in July of 2011, Shawhughes gave birth to their second daughter, Indiana.

That makes her the youngest of Hawke’s four children.

Hawke and Shawhughes launched a production company together: Under the Influence Productions.

Where do things stand today?

Ethan Hawke and Ryan Shawhughes — now Ryan Hawke — remain very much together.

Their youngest girls are teenagers. That’s how time works, you see.

Hawke and Thurman have received praise for their co-parenting.

And, as their children — particularly Maya (no shade to Levon) — continue to stand out on their own, some younger fans are learning for the first time that they were once an item.

Hopefully, they’ll continue their long and happy marriage!
