The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck has a lot on her plate.

She is a mother of three. She is a Hulu reality star. Obviously, she is also a TikToker.

Now, she is a contestant on Dancing With The Stars.

With so much on her plate, she has to find a way to balance her life with killing it on the dance floor.

Jen Affleck made her 'Dancing With The Stars' debut

Following the Tuesday, September 16 premiere of DWTS, Jen Affleck admitted to Page Six that she feels "physically exhausted."

She shared that she is "trying to find a balance" now that she has so many irons in the fire.

"It is a lot," Affleck summarized.

"I am working out half the day [and] coming home exhausted," she described.

"But," Affleck pointed out, "I've got three babies to take care of."

And apparently, she takes care of many other duties, even with DWTS.

"I've gotta cook, clean, and do all the normal things you do as a mom," she listed.

"But that's how you know I'm a mom. Us moms, we just do it."

"It was so much fun," Affleck gushed about her "NUEVAYoL" salsa from the premiere night.

"I'm on cloud nine. I was so stressed."

She explained: "I'm so used to dancing on my countertops where it's just my three babies watching me."

Affleck continued:

"And the fact that there are millions of people watching me is kind of crazy. I tried to block that out and pretend it was just my babies."

Nicke Kidman-Keith Urban Divorce Details Revealed: Nicole Wants the Kids 10 Months Out of …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Few celebrity breakups have been as shocking as the Nicole Kidman-Keith Urban split.

It's not just that the beloved stars are unexpectedly calling it quits after 19 years of marriage; it's also the messy fashion in which this is all playing out.

Insiders say Urban already has a girlfriend, and based on Nicole's divorce filing, this is not an amicable breakup!

Nicole Kidman files for divorce, demands primary custody of children

Yes, according to a new report from TMZ, Nicole has already filed to legally end the marriage, and she's made some shocking demands in her Marital Dissolution Agreement.

Under the arrangement proposed by Nicole, the exes' two daughters will spend 306 days of the year with her and just 59 days with Keith.

Yes, Nicole has clearly given this a lot of thought, and she couldn't be more precise in her demands.

She gave the vague "irreconcilable differences" reason for the divorce (a favorite among celebs who wish to retain a shred of privacy), and she's stated that she intends to remain the "primary residential parent of the minor children."

All major decisions involving their kids — including those pertaining to education and healthcare — will be made jointly, and Keith and Nicole have agreed to take co-parenting lessons to help them navigate the transition ahead.

Neither party is requesting spousal support or child support, but there is a clause stating that Keith has prepaid "child support obligations."

Nicole comes out on top

In short, Nicole appears to have the upper hand, and it sounds like she and Keith have been hammering out terms for quite some time, possibly since they first separated back in June.

But interestingly, sources tell TMZ that Nicole filed abruptly with no advance warning to Keith.

It's possible that she decided to pull the trigger now that the cat is out of the bag.

Or maybe she's just furious over the fact that he's already dating someone new.

According to TMZ, "sources connected to Kidman say that "all the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman. Let's just say, Nicole doesn't dispute that, but she's still shocked over it."

There's no indication that Keith started dating the new woman while he was still involved with Nicole, but the speed with which he's moved on must have come as a shock after 19 years of marriage.

Here's hoping these two can manage to keep things at least semi-civil for the sake of their kids.

Erika Kirk: ‘Witch’ Who ‘Cursed’ Charlie Kirk Ahead of Shooting …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

One of the more bizarre stories to emerge from the murder of Charlien Kirk had to do with a media stunt that turned out to be very poorly timed.

Just days before the shooting, the news and culture site Jezebel ran a humor piece in which the author described the process of paying a witch from Etsy to put a curse on Kirk.

No actual harm was intended by the writer, who appears to hold the standard belief that witchcraft is not "real" in any material sense.

But it seems that one of the witches involved feels responsible for causing undue "distress."

Priestess Lilin issues apology to Erika Kirk

One of the supernatural practitioners who was contacted for the "We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk" article has spoken with the Daily Mail and asked for a "private conversation" with Charlie's widow, Erika Kirk.

"We regret any distress experienced. What we do is done based on an impartial perspective and at a professional level," the witch, who goes by the name Priestess Lilin, told the outlet.

"We respect the widow's feelings and welcome a private conversation to address her concerns," she added.

According to the priestess, the curse was spiritual in nature and was never intended to cause any physical harm.

"Our spells are spiritual in nature and we do not perform actions that are intended to cause physical harm," she explained.

The debate over Charlie Kirk's legacy continues

Charlie Kirk's rhetoric made him a divisive figure in life, as many recognized his most inflammatory content as the sort of speech that has historically led to violence.

He's remained divisive in death, with rightwing politicians declaring him a free speech martyr, and figures on the Left pointing out that Kirk was a professional provocateur and a gun rights absolutist who believed that deadly force is a necessary evil in America.

It's important to note that no sane person on either end of the political spectrum is celebrating Kirk's death, and obviously, Priestess Lilin wants to make clear that she never wished violence on anyone.

As the discourse regarding Kirk's life and legacy continues, it would be beneficial for both sides to bear in mind that his belief in the importance of free speech was one of Charlie's most deeply held principles.

In other words, he probably wouldn't be a fan of comedians being canceled in his name or anyone receiving death threats because of their words.

As we enter the final months of 2025, hopefully, the nation can come together on core beliefs such as: no one should be killed for their words, and no one's words should encourage violence.

Amber Portwood Boasts She ‘Paved Way’ for ‘Teen Mom’ in Latest …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Amber Portwood wants recognition for paving the way for the Teen Mom franchise.

The former reality TV villain has turned to some of the worst social media apps for attention after walking away from the MTV series.

She seems to be fond of presenting herself as a perpetual victim while simultaneously extolling her own praises, even when her account of things doesn't seem to match reality.

Now, she's taking credit for the Teen Mom franchise, at least in part. She's also, despite everything, saying that she has no regrets.

Speaking energetically into her phone, Amber Portwood expresses herself. (Image Credit: MTV)

Amber Portwood will always be her own #1 fan

As is too often her habit, Amber Portwood spent an alarming amount of time on TikTok over this past weekend.

(If there is anyone remaining in her life who loves and cares about her, they should encourage her to stop)

As you can see in the clip below, she went on TikTok Live to directly, well, fight with commenters.

While clutching an eye-catching cup, Amber Portwood wishes that she had been able to access the same basic healthcare that her teen daughter now can. (Image Credit: MTV)

Amber at one point insisted that social media followings do not impress her.

She turned around and boasted that she accrued more than "5 million" just from being on Teen Mom.

Amber then bragged that she "paved the way" for that show to exist.

It's unclear if she's trying to say that she helped put it on the map or something else.

She has 'paved the way' and also 'made waves'

"That's hard! You don't know what hard is," Amber Portwood seemed to yell at a TikTok commenter.

"Don't come for somebody who's already paved the way and made waves!" she shouted.

"Began it and ended s–t."

Amber ranted, insisting: "Don't come at that person out of anybody, don't come at that person!"

Despite her many flaws, Amber Portwood does sometimes make a solid point. And she's doing just that during this confessional moment from Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. (Image Credit: MTV)

"I promise you, they're going to know more people, know more than you, be more wise about things," Amber boldly insisted.

"And," she insisted, "have way more experiences than you could ever understand!"

Amber declared, this time not inaccurately: "It's another beast to be in the entertainment industry for 20 f–king years than here on TikTok."

Wearing a bold pair of glasses and a striped top, Amber Portwood recalls the well-deserved rejection that she received from her daughter for years. (Image Credit: MTV)

NO regrets? Really?

Still riding some sort of emotional high, Amber Portwood sang her own praises and insists that she regrets nothing. Not even her own regrettable actions.

"Everything that I went through, no, I do not have any regrets," she proclaimed.

"Why? Because of the people I helped."

She rambled: "Done. Like, it's just done. I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing, which is a beautiful thing today." 

Sitting on her porch, Amber Portwood chats on 'Teen Mom: The Next Chapter' before she allegedly quit. (Image Credit: MTV)

Obviously, a string of nonsensical statements full of self-aggrandizement sounds a lot like a mental health episode.

This is not the first time that she has sounded delusional.

But though Amber is very openly mentally ill, we should be careful to acknowledge that this might just be Amber talking.

You don't need a mental health crisis or a manic phase to rewrite history. Or to snap at your own alleged "fans."

Keith Urban Girlfriend? Singer Already Dating in Wake of Nicole Kidman Divorce

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Keith Urban has allegedly moved on from Nicole Kidman.

Yes, already.

Just hours after we first learned that Kidman and Urban were splitting up after 19 years of marriage (the actress officially filed for divorce on September 30), TMZ is reporting that the singer has found a girlfriend.

The website would like to make one thing clear, however…

It's unclear whether Urban was involved with this individual while actively working on his marriage to Kidman; they could very well have hooked after the pair separated.

This is possible because E! News previously quoted an insider who said Urban and Kidman had been living apart "since the beginning of summer."

In the case of this mysterious new girlfriend, TMZ simply writes that "sources connected to Kidman say "all the signs point to the fact Keith is with another woman. Let's just say, Nicole doesn't dispute that, but she's still shocked over it."

Well, sure.

The celebrities had been married since 2006 and share two kids.

Based on what we've been able to gather thus far, Kidman fought hard to try and save her relationship.

However, TMZ reports that Urban has rented his own home in Nashville and has shown no signs of wanting a reconciliation.

"Nicole's sister [Antonia] has been a rock and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another," a source told People Magazine on Tuesday.

Kidman and Urban didn't talk too often about their romance with the press, but the former said just last year that she was "so lucky that I have Keith who's just my love, my deep, deep love" when sitting down with People.

News of their split came months after Kidman attended the Met Gala by herself in May.

She and Urban were last spotted out in public at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 game in Nashville on June 20, an outing that came just five days before their 19th wedding anniversary.

"Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban," the veteran star captioned a photo of her snuggling up with Urban as he held a guitar.

We wish both halves of this now-former couple nothing but the best moving forward.

Abbie Duggar Pregnancy Reveals Agonizing Diagnosis

Abbie Duggar has a pregnancy update!

This summer, she revealed that she and husband John David Duggar are expecting Baby #3.

Abby just shared that she has reached the halfway point.

She is also revealing an agonizing health complication that she has quietly faced for months.

Counting On alum Abbie Burnett Duggar has a two-part update on her pregnancy.

Taking to Instagram, she shared a pair of photos.

Both maternity snaps showcased her baby bump on the beach while she wore a fuchsia gown.

A post shared by John and Abbie (@johnandabbie)

"A little over half way!" Abbie wrote in the post's caption.

"We had a pretty rough go of it the first half," she acknowledged.

"And I am so thankful to be feeling much more like myself again!"

Abbie concluded her caption with a declaration and two tags:

"God is good! #pregnant #hyperemesis."

That final tag is garnering a lot of attention as fans and followers digest this Abbie Duggar pregnancy update.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition that can take place during pregnancy.

The pregnant individual experiences severe nausea and vomiting.

No more than three percent of all pregnancies have symptoms like this.

Some may recall that Kate Middleton's pregnancies became easy to predict due to her hospitalizations ahead of pregnancy announcements.

She, too, suffers hyperemesis gravidarium. And yes, it really is that bad.

It sounds like Abbie's symptoms have abated, as she is "feeling much more like" herself.

That is good to hear!

John David and Abbie Duggar already share 5-year-old Grace Duggar and 2-year-old Charlie Duggar.

This is not her first round with hyperemesis, either.

Abbie previously battled with symptoms, so that even critics pitied her.

Some speculated that Grace might end up being the couple's only child as a result.

Donald Trump Complains of ‘N-Words You Can’t Use’ In Bizarre Speech

Reading Time: 3 minutes

President Donald Trump took the stage to address an audience of US generals and admirals on Tuesday morning.

And as with his recent speech to the UN, Trump's comments generated a good deal of confusion.

The weirdness began with a summons from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to US military commanders stationed all over the world.

Surprise gathering of top military brass leads to numerous unexpected moments

The invitation led to widespread bafflement as it offered virtually no details about today's event.

Nearly 800 generals, admirals, and senior enlisted staff assembled in Virginia with little idea of what to expect.

Following his speech, in which he dared America's enemies to "FAFO," a reference that seemed to elude most of the crowd (the acronym stands for "f–k around and find out"), Hegseth introduced the president.

This resulted in another awkward moment, as the attendees were apparently not informed that Trump would be in attendance, and they seemed unsure of how to react.

"I've never walked into a room so silent before," Trump said before informing the crowd that it's okay to clap.

"Don't laugh! Don't laugh, you're not allowed to do that!" the president stated, adding:

"You know what, just have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud. And if want to do anything you want, you can do anything that you want.

"And if don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes you future."

"But you just feel nice and loose, okay, because we're all on the same team. And I was told that, sir, you won't hear — you won't hear a murmur in the room. I said, we got to loosen these guys up a little bit. So you just have a good time."

Trump's 'N-word' remark draws criticism

From there, Trump delved into military matters and alluded to the nuclear option, which he referred to as the N-word.

"We can't throw around that word. I call it the 'N' word. There are two 'N-words,' and you can't use either of them," he joked.

For obvious reasons, the remark has received quite a bit of backlash on social media.

"I'm sorry is Trump using this speech to complain about not being able to use 'the N word'?" wrote one X user.

"We know which N word Trump loves.His family has said that it is a regular part of his vocabulary," another chimed in.

"Trump was talking about nukes and just said there are two N words and we can't use either of them. I wonder how many times a day they have to remind him?" a third tweeted.

The impetus behind organizing today's gathering — which some have described as "more like a low-energy campaign event" — remains unclear.

Taylor Swift Says Selena Gomez ‘Beat Me to the Altar’ In Wedding Speech …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

For many years, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have been besties.

Over the weekend, Selena married Benny Blanco.

Swift is also engaged. The longtime besties had matching engagements that they themselves predicted 16 years ago.

When Swift gave a speech honoring her "sister" on her wedding day, there was laughter and tears.

Congratulations on the wedding, Selena Gomez!

Wedding speeches are a delicate endeavor. Multiple people give them. Sometimes, someone's crosses some lines.

Others pull it off flawlessly and are tough acts to follow.

It is no surprise that Taylor Swift offered a speech as Selena Gomez married Benny Blanco.

The nuptials went down on Saturday, September 27 at the Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara. Swift was one of the 170 guests.

According to The Daily Mail, Swift "joked in the speech that Selena beat her to the altar." True!

"But," the speech reportedly continued, "at least they both have found the loves of their lives."

Overall, Swift's speech was apparently both emotional and funny. Which is, for the record, ideal for most weddings.

Taylor Swift reportedly hit it out of the park

The report says that Taylor Swift gave a speech that was "so beautiful" that it left Selena Gomez and multiple guests "crying."

Swift reportedly spoke about "always having Selena's back and how they are sisters."

Per the report, Swift also said that "while Selena may see Taylor as the big sister, Taylor sees Selena as teaching her so much."

Swift also reportedly "talked about how she and Selena have both been through so much together, both professionally and personally."

The singer apparently "said that whenever one of them had their hearts broken from failed relationship[s] over the years, they were always there for each other."

It's true that Swift and Gomez have a powerful bond that stretches back many years.

And it is wonderful to think of such long-lasting emotional support.

They are 'sisters' for life

Taylor Swift reportedly praised that it was when Selena Gomez "finally came to the realization that she was just fine with who she was and concentrated on being just her that she fell in love with Benny."

She gushed: "It isn't luck that they found each other; it's love."

The wedding party aren't the only ones who teared up a little at this. Whew!

Now, of course, Gomez likely has to prepare her own speech for Swift and Kelce's big day.

Kate Gosselin Asks for Prayers Amid Mysterious Hospitalization

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Kate Gosselin is used to being in hot water when it comes to members of her family and, in many cases, members of the public.

But Kate Gosselin is someplace else right now.

She's in the hospital.

Days after Gosselin dropped the bombshell that she's dating someone seriously, the polarizing personality once again took followers by surprise last night.

"Please pray for me tonight and tomorrow," she wrote over an image of an IV and a pulse oximeter on TikTok. "I will be fine, but I'm scared and would appreciate your prayers! Thanks guys."

The mother of eight did not provide any additional details.

In the caption of this post, Kate added:

"Emergencies don't care about schedules! Please DON'T worry about me! Please pray instead! Please pray for me tonight and tomorrow? I'd really appreciate it! Don't worry, story time to follow when I'm able! Love you guys! I'll be back as soon as I can!"

Gosselin has been pretty active of late on social media.

Most notably, she replied to a question about whether or not she's dating anyone, telling followers:

"The answer to that question is actually, finally, yes! I am dating somebody for the past year to like, a little over a year, maybe like 15 months. I am super super happy. It's somebody that I've known for a really long time and I am very very happy."

(TikTok)

It later came out, however, that Gosselin was apparently getting it on with Steve Neild, the man who at least at some point served as her bodyguard… and who she reportedly was sleeping with while still married many years ago to Jon Gosselin.

According to both Kate's ex-husband and what appears to be her least-favorite son, their relationship was the main reason why Jon and Kate split up back in 2009.

"What about when we'd go on vacation and you made me sleep on the hotel cot while you and Steve were together?" Collin asked on his Instagram Story on last Wednesday night in response to this news.

"Or when I'd be in a connected room while you shared one with him?" he also asked.

"What about when you were on Kate Plus Date, but Steve's home address was the same as yours? You told me I broke our family when you couldn't stay true to my dad."

This is a split screen of Kate Gosselin and one of her kids. (TLC)

Yikes, huh?

Kate and Collin do not talk, for the record, with the latter having said his mom treated him like an animal and that he was institutionalized as a young teenager because his mom just couldn't handle him.

Collin has also claimed he was "locked up, isolated, zip-tied" in the basement when he was a child. Just so sad and chilling all around.

Diddy Prosecutors Seek 11-Year Sentence; Cassie Ventura Says She Still Has Nightmares …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Back in July, news that Sean "Diddy" Combs had been acquitted of the most serious charges against him stunned many who had been watching the case closely.

Of course, it wasn't all good news for Team Diddy.

The disgraced mogul was denied bail after being convicted on the lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution.

At his sentencing tomorrow, Diddy could be turned loose for time served — but prosecutors want him locked up for another decade.

Diddy could receive a slap on the wrist … or another decade in prison

Yes, Diddy has already been in jail for over a year, having been denied bail after he was arrested by federal agents in September of 2024.

He's been found guilty of transporting male prostitutes across state lines for his infamous "freak off" sex parties.

It's the kind of crime that might yield a light sentence in different circumstances.

But Diddy has been exposed as a serial abuser and has admitted to severe sex and drug addictions.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Diddy remains "unrepentant" despite his admitted history of violence, and he now believes "his victims should shoulder the blame."

All of that might factor into the judges' decision, especially as at least one victim says she still lives in fear of the disgraced mogul.

Cassie Ventura pens heartbreaking letter to judge

In a letter obtained by Page Six, former Diddy girlfriend Cassie Ventura asked Judge Arun Subramanian to issue a sentence that reflects "the reality of the evidence and my lived experience as a victim."

"I still have nightmares and flashbacks on a regular, everyday basis, and continue to require psychological care to cope with my past," Ventura wrote.

"My worries that Sean Combs or his associates will come after me and my family is my reality," she continued, adding:

"I have in fact moved my family out of the New York area and am keeping as private and quiet as I possibly can because I am so scared that if he walks free, his first actions will be swift retribution towards me and others who spoke up about his abuse at trial.

"As much progress as I have made in recovering from his abuse, I remain very much afraid of what he is capable of and the malice he undoubtedly harbors towards me for having the bravery to tell the truth."

Video of Diddy brutally assaulting Cassie leaked last year ahead of his arrest, but that beating was not one of the crimes that Diddy was charged with.

Prosecutors have recommended a sentence of "at least 135 months' imprisonment" for Diddy, along with a $500,000 fine.

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

Jay Cutler Jailed in Tennessee Following DUI & Firearm Charges

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Former football star Jay Cutler is in jail.

Though Kristin Cavallari's ex-husband is no stranger to scandal, his arrest and the long list of charges took many by surprise.

Now, he is behind bars, serving out his sentence.

What a mess!

Jay Cutler is in jail, but not for long

On Monday, September 29, former football player Jay Cutler began serving his sentence in Williamson County Jail in Franklin Tennessee, TMZ reports.

This four-day jail sentence is the result of a deal that he struck with prosecutors.

As part of the deal, Cutler pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor DUI.

In turn, prosecutors dismissed the weapons charge that he had been facing.

In October 2024, Cutler rear-ended another vehicle during a traffic accident.

Police observed signs of intoxication, including slurred speech.

Cutler refused to take a field sobriety test.

However, a blood-alcohol test ensued. Authorities also found two firearms, one of which was loaded, in the vehicle.

As a result, Jay Cutler faced a litany of charges.

These included charges of driving under the influence, reckless driving leading to a collision, violating implied consent regulations, and unlawfully possessing a firearm while intoxicated.

Considering all of that, pleading guilty to just one charge and getting four days behind bars doesn't sound too bad.

In addition to spending part of this week in jail, Cutler must pay a $350 fine.

(Considering his estimated net worth of about $30 million, imagine if someone with a net worth of $85,000 had to pay $1)

He will have to serve one year of unsupervised probation.

His driver's license suspension will last for the same duration. And he must attend a DUI safety course.

How did this happen?

Again, since Jay Cutler agreeing to this deal meant that almost all of the charges vanished into thin air, this is a very favorable deal. For Cutler — not necessarily for his fellow citizens.

Driving under the influence has never been okay. DUIs are even harder to understand now, when most people in most places could obtain a ride with the push of a few buttons on their phone.

Sometimes, a DUI happens once due to a simple misjudgment.

The unlicensed firearm seems more serious and more difficult to explain, however.

Plenty of yikes all around.
