Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Christen Lilibet in California Ceremony

{content:

The Duke and Duchess used their children's royal titles for the first time upon announcing their daughter's baptism.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are marking the occasion of their daughter Princess Lilibet Diana's christening.

The royal couple celebrated the christening of their 21-month-old in an intimate service in their home in Montecito, California per PEOPLE.

According to the publication, a rep for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared, "I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor."

The service was followed by food and dancing, where she and her brother Archie shared a sweet dance.

Invites were sent across the pond to King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton, though they did not attend the festivities. PEOPLE reported that 20-30 guests were in attendance including Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, and Lilibet's godfather and close family friend, Tyler Perry.

Upon the announcement of their daughter's baptism, Meghan, 41, and Harry, 38, used Lilibet's royal title for the first time.

When Queen Elizabeth died in September and Harry's father King Charles inherited the throne, Lilibet and Archie, 3, were given the titles of Princess and Prince. Under a rule established by King George V in 1917, Meghan and Harry's children were not afforded royal titles as the great-grandchildren of the former sovereign.

Titles were only extended to the grandchildren of the sovereign though exceptions were only made to the eldest living son of the Prince of Wales. Thus Prince William and Kate Middleton's three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were given their titles upon their birth.

While Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's new titles have yet to be reflected on the royal family's official website, they were listed as "Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor" and "Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor."

{content:

A suspect -- believed by authorities to have attacked two people in one day -- surrendered Wednesday morning following a standoff with police

Terrifying video shows the seconds leading up to a deadly stabbing that claimed the life of 17-year-old Xavier Chavarin (above right), authorities in Los Angeles say.

The Woodrow Wilson High School student was attacked last Friday as he waited for his mother to pick him up outside King Torta restaurant in El Sereno, California.

On Tuesday, detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department's homicide unit released surveillance footage of the moments leading up to the attack, as they asked for the public's help identifying a suspect.

The video shows a man with long black hair wearing a leather jacket walking through a parking lot after exiting his vehicle, before approaching the teenager on the sidewalk while appearing to pull out a large knife.

According to police, the man then stabbed Chavarin multiple times in the back; The suspect then fled the scene, before the teenager died inside the restaurant.

Police believe the same suspect attacked a 33-year-old man five hours later, around 8:55pm. The suspect stabbed the victim several times without saying anything and appeared to be wearing the same clothing as the man involved in the earlier attack, authorities say. The second victim survived.

"It breaks my heart, the fact that they just took him away from me," Xavier's mother Laura Frias told NBC4. "I don't know what to say. [I am] just so heartbroken. He was my love, my everything."

Chavarin is remembered by family members, friends and his school as a "great big brother" and straight-A student who was going to graduate with honors.

Cara Delevingne Entered Rehab After 'Heartbreaking' Photos Gave Her Addiction 'Reality Check'

{content:

"If I was continuing to go down the road I was I would either end up dead or doing something really, really stupid," she says as she opens up about her turbulent 2022 and battle with addiction with Vogue.

Cara Delevingne just confirmed fans had reason to worry about her in 2022, after paparazzi photos of her and reports about her behavior started painting a concerning picture of the 30-year-old model. Speaking with Vogue for a new cover story, she opened up about her turbulent year and her ongoing battle with addiction, after entering rehab in the fall.

While Delevingne is four-months sober as of January, when the interview was conducted, she spiraled out of control last year ahead of her 30th birthday. She explained that when concerning photos were snapped of her, she had just returned from a three-week stint in Ibiza, followed by a trip to Burning Man.

"That's when the pictures were taken. I was like, 'Wow, okay, this is bad.' At that point, there were a lot of people who were really worried, understandably so," she recalled in a video for Vogue. "I wasn't really worried though. That is the nature of the disease, that is what addiction is."

"I was not okay," she also told the publication. "It's heartbreaking because I thought I was having fun, but at some point it was like, Okay, I don't look well. You know, sometimes you need a reality check, so in a way those pictures were something to be grateful for."

Delevingne said that throughout her life she's dealt with alcohol abuse, insomnia, dyspraxia, had a "breakdown" at age 15 and depression. She hit a "low point" during Covid lockdown, after splitting from ex-girlfriend Ashley Benson. She says she then started partying hard as people started going back out into the world again, before she lost her grandmother last year, around the time of the Met Gala in May.

By August, she was in Ibiza for her birthday -- and while it should have been a celebration, she told Vogue she "would just kind of lock myself" away from her friends and "barely left" her bedroom. Her own aunt confirmed her family and friends were concerned, saying "there were plans to do something about" Cara's issues.

"All I know is if I was continuing to go down the road I was I would either end up dead or doing something really, really stupid. That was scary," said Delevingne, adding that she entered treatment in September. "Treatment was the best thing. I think I needed that community, I needed that support group," she told Vogue.

Delevingne also entered a 12-step program and weekly therapy sessions and is devoted to a long-term healing process.

"This process obviously has its ups and downs, but I've started realizing so much. People want my story to be this after-school special where I just say, 'Oh look, I was an addict, and now I'm sober and that's it.' And it's not as simple as that," she concluded. "It doesn't happen overnight ... I think this generation especially, we want things to happen quickly -- but I've had to  dig deeper."

Read the full cover story here. Delevingne's issue of Vogue hits newsstands on March 21.

Cole Sprouse Says He and Lili Reinhart 'Did Quite a Bit of Damage to Each Other'

{content:

He admits it was initially "really hard" for them to work together on Riverdale after their split, and opened up about past experiences with cheating

Cole Sprouse is opening up about his love life.

During an appearance on Wednesday's episode of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, the actor got candid about his past experiences with dating and relationships, including his highly-publicized romance -- and split -- with his "Riverdale" co-star, Lili Reinhart.

Sprouse, 30, and Reinhart, 26, were first romantically linked in 2017. The two had an on-again-off-again relationship for three years, before separating in January 2020 and then officially calling it quits that March.

While speaking with "Call Her Daddy" host Alex Cooper, Sprouse -- who never mentioned Reinhart by name -- said he wasn't going to share "too much" about why he and the actress called it quits, but he stressed that the breakup was "mutual."

"I left," he revealed. "To be honest, when you're in a relationship for that long and someone leaves … it's not a surprise. ... It was time."

The "Riverdale" star admitted that he believes that if he had "loved myself a little more," he "would have left" his relationship with Reinhart "a little earlier."

"I just felt like I had to take care of a lot of people around me, which was not good for me," he said. "I probably should have exercised a bit more selfishness in that situation."

"I think the complicated thing was I was so private ... that we didn't make a big deal when we split," he added. "So afterwards, I was photographed ... as a single man dating other women, and I think it caused people to think there was something dubious going on."

Sprouse also detailed working with Reinhart after their breakup.

"It really hard. It was really hard for both of us," he recalled. "I think work thing got difficult because it was hard to suspend all the way we felt about each other and it didn't afford us the luxury of distance to really overcome that. I know we both did quite a bit of damage to each other."

"We're good friends now, which is awesome," Sprouse continued. "We work really good together now. But I think that was exactly where we both needed to be. We were in a foreign city, working a very intense schedule ... alone, and we really leaned on each other, while also going through the elected trauma of this incredible overnight success, a ton of criticism, a ton of expectation, and I think we did the best we could, really. I really do think we did."

"I'm very grateful in very many ways I was able to go through it with someone who was going through the exact same set of circumstances as me," he added, before pointing out, "In very many ways, all the cliches about dating someone you work with are very true."

As for whether Sprouse believes their relationship "lasted longer" because he and Reinhart worked together? "Absolutely," he said.

Meanwhile, also during the interview, the "Five Feet Apart" actor also opened up about infidelity in his relationships, admitting that he's been cheated on -- both physically and emotionally -- by his "almost" all of his ex-girlfriends.

"Have you ever been cheated on?" Cooper asked Sprouse, who immediately replied, "Yeah. By almost every single one of my girlfriends."

However, he then clarified that he's been cheated on "emotionally" "very, very much," but he said it was his first girlfriend who cheated on him "physically."

"I will say, the current relationship I am in has woke me up to what real compatibility and trust looks like in a way that I have never had before," Sprouse said, seemingly referring to his relationship with model Ari Fournier, with whom he was first linked back in February 2021.

The Disney Channel alum admitted that he was "younger and stupid" and "not the greatest partner either" during some of his past relationships. "I was no saint. I mean I was going through my own f---ing traumas and s--- and trying to reconcile that as a young twenty-something," he said.

Looking back at the "emotional cheating," Sprouse said, "I've come to terms with my own inability to be emotionally vulnerable over time. I don't blame -- I literally don't blame -- any of my partners for anything that has happened ever, ever, ever."

"It takes two to tango," he continued, adding, "Sometimes you're just incompatible with someone and ... it just doesn't actually work. ... I think I was in the right place at the right time for every relationship I've ever had."

Elsewhere in the interview, Sprouse revealed how he lost his virginity.

"I was 14," he began. "I was on a family trip in Florida, and I met this girl who was older, so that's already dubious. The first night we kind of made out and the second night -- all my buddies had already lost their virginity at this point. ... We went down to the beach."

He continued, "I looked at her, and I finally mustered up enough courage to deliver a line that my brother has never, never let [me live down]. I looked at her, and I was like, 'So are you, like, DTF?'"

He said he and the girl went up to his hotel room. "[I] lasted about 20 seconds," he recalled, jokingly adding, "And never talked to her again!"

However, all jokes aside, Sprouse said he "ended up regretting" the experience because it wasn't "special at all."

Ireland Baldwin's Stripper Themed Baby Shower, Sweet Moment With Kim Basinger

{content:

The model was showered in "booty" and said she wouldn't have her baby festivities "any other way."

Ireland Baldwin is anything but a traditional mom-to-be!

The 27-year-old model and her boyfriend Rac celebrated the incoming arrival of their first child with a stripper themed baby shower at a club in East Hollywood. Instead of baby bottles and shower games, the "Grudge Match" actress and the musician traded up for dancers and lingerie.

In a series of photos posted to her Instagram, the daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, gave fans an inside look into her shower.

"Way too many of these to post but it'll have to come in parts," Baldwin began in her caption. "My friends and family threw us a very traditional baby shower as you can see. I wouldn't have had it any other way. I was showered… in booty."

"Thank you to everyone at @jumbosclownroomofficial for making dreams come true and for being so kind. And thank you to everyone coming 💘," she gushed.

Ireland was seen in a pink wig that was fashioned into a short bob along with a black lacy lingerie ensemble. The actress also shared a shot of a cake that was covered in sprinkles and featured a scene that included a Barbie doll hovering next to a toilet surrounded by champagne bottles. The sign on the cake read, "baby's first strip club."

The strip club was decorated with Hello Kitty balloons and guests were treated to vegan burgers courtesy of a popular Los Angeles plant-based chain called Monty's Good Burger.

In a sweet moment captured on camera, Ireland also shared a few photos that depicted her mother smiling while the two were locked in an embrace. Basinger was fashioned in a dark gray suit and matching button down as she hugged her daughter who was laughing with dollar bills in her top.

During an appearance on the "Girlboss Radio" podcast back in January, Ireland revealed her baby's name and the rationale behind the decision.

"We're naming her Holland. I'm Ireland, so another country name because we wanted to keep that consistent," she explained, "And then I love the actress Holland Taylor. I've always loved that name since I was young, I just thought that was such a classy, beautiful name, so we're going with Holland."

M.I Abaga - Craze Lyrics

When they gbongbonlo, you cause
Dey gbangbanla
When they gbangbanla, you cause
Gbingbinli
When they gbinginli, you con
Dey ronronro
When they ronronro, you con dey
Yayaya
Na so craze dey start

Na so craze dey start
Lets face the fact
That the people are slim and the
Governors fat
And the people laboring, only
The oga relax
It's just a matter of time, the
People gonna react
People wanna eat but there's
No money at all
So they gotta be sharp coz the
Governors dull
People struggle and toil, others
Chopping them all
Some people koko with oil, others
Are chopping the oil
When the brokest start to protest
It's coz we know that there isn't
Progress
We know the lowest and the poorest
Are living in grotesque
Kande sees so Kande shall cause
The unrest
You don't need to be a physic to
Know tears
Majority over population live
In hopeless
So if the 90% are now the brokest
Then you know you gonna find fire
Where the smoke is

Na so craze dey start
For university class, even if
You study you must know somebody
To pass
No light in the hostel, no light
In the class
No water mehn, students buying
Water to baff
Ten students, one room? all of
Them share the mattress
Plus, the room is there for those
Who wealthier pass
The lecturer just told my girlfriend
Say he liking her ass
If she wanna pass the class, she
Gotta give him the yansh
And the VC and Bisi driving in
His new car
Tell me what I might do sir
They keep saying that the kids
Are the future but the hardship
Continues, Aluta!
Education is a big mess, true
Sir
Computer science degree never
Seen a computer
Today the bazooka sound in the
School yard, breaking every louver

Na so craze dey start
Before we start to kidnap, e don
Tey wey we dey struggle and the
Times are hard
Niger Delta where we live is like
A hole in the map
Only the oil is respected but
The people are crap
I can't go to the farm because the
Soil is bad
Can't fish anymore, the fish are
Packing their bag
I discovered that the oil people
Paid all my leader
I can't complain unless they do
Me Ken Saro Wiwa
So when the shooting and looting
And the poor thing
Or you pour in the boot is the new
Thing
Think about the polluting and
Using the land and refusing to
Pop in a few things
Think about all the people that
Can survive so others can make
Money off the fewer that don't
Provide
No NEPA mehn, we gotta buy diesel
For light
And after everything they raise
The fuel price

Erik Ten Hag

Fernandez was given the captain armband by Ten Hag following the dutchman's decision to leave Harry Maguire out of the first team. However, the Portuguese were under scrutiny by some people in the media due to his attitude in the game against Liverpool.

He replied when asked if Fernandes will continue to wear the armband.

Yes, definitely, I think he is playing a brilliant season. He occupies a really important role, which is why we are in the position where we are because he is giving energy to the team. He is not only running a lot and in the highest intensity, but also in the right way, in the right direction and he is pointing and coaching players. He is an inspiration for the whole team but no-one is perfect. Everyone has his mistakes and everyone has to learn. He is an inspiration for the whole team but no-one is perfect, everyone has his mistakes and everyone has to learn. I have to learn and he will learn as well because he is intelligent. So I am really happy to have Bruno Fernandes in my team and if Harry is not on the pitch, he is our captain.

Manchester United will hope to get back to winning ways after their humiliating performance against Liverpool.

MI Abaga - Wild Wild West Lyrics

Chorus
Better get your gun
Better get your vest
'Cause in J town is the wild wild west
Down here everyone curse, no one bless
Nobody care, nobody notice
So know this, until you feel the gun blast
Nobody gon' sleep and nobody gon' rest
Down here everyone curse, no one bless
'Cause in J town is the wild wild west
Better get your gun
Better get your vest
'Cause in J town is the wild wild west
Down here everyone curse, no one bless
Nobody care, nobody notice
So know this, until you feel the gun blast
Nobody gon' sleep and nobody gon' rest
Down here everyone curse, no one bless
'Cause in J town is the wild wild west

Verse 1
Yeah, I just wanna cry (I just wanna cry)
I just wanna know why my people struggle to unify
Wanna blame somebody, middle finger in the sky
Let it linger while the anger, then I'm feeling vaporised (vaporised)
I just wanna pick up a gun and start to run
Where the evil ones pondered upon their cranium
Put the gun against their temple
Squeeze the bullet into their mental curses on my dental, so vengeful
But with my pencil I stenciled the pain
Try my best to show the world events full of shame
J town was peace, they try to cancel the name
But even when the fire burns, the stand still remains
The winds came and stirred a religious hurricane
When I heard I was like "Oh God, not her again"
But in faith we remain, hoping for the day break
Do whatever that it may take
I hear somebody saying

Chorus
Better get your gun
Better get your vest
'Cause in J town is the wild wild west
Down here everyone curse, no one bless
Nobody care, nobody notice
So know this, until you feel the gun blast
Nobody gon' sleep and nobody gon' rest
Down here everyone curse, no one bless
'Cause in J town is the wild wild west
Better get your gun
Better get your vest
'Cause in J town is the wild wild west
Down here everyone curse, no one bless
Nobody care, nobody notice
So know this, until you feel the gun blast
Nobody gon' sleep and nobody gon' rest
Down here everyone curse, no one bless
'Cause in J town is the wild wild west

Verse 2
Yeah, wishful is my memories of peaceful bliss
Now streets full of deceitfulness
Evil is now around where all of my people lives
Need a hero, quick
J town I miss how you were
Tell me, how did this occur?
Now memories of peace are a blur
And you were so pretty, I swear
Driving through the city thinking, "This is not her
She seems so strange, when did she change?"
Blood on her street, smoke in her sky
Can't feel her heartbeat, no hope in her eye
Orphans, coffins, bastards, caskets, mass burials
How we gonna move past this? (How we gonna move past this?)
The sun about to set, I'm getting ready for the war
I fear it isn't done yet

Chorus
Better get your gun
Better get your vest
'Cause in J town is the wild wild west
Down here everyone curse, no one bless
Nobody care, nobody notice
So know this, until you feel the gun blast
Nobody gon' sleep and nobody gon' rest
Down here everyone curse, no one bless
'Cause in J town is the wild wild west
Better get your gun
Better get your vest
'Cause in J town is the wild wild west
Down here everyone curse, no one bless
Nobody care, nobody notice
So know this, until you feel the gun blast
Nobody gon' sleep and nobody gon' rest
Down here everyone curse, no one bless
'Cause in J town is the wild wild west (wild wild west)

The Voice 5th Judge: Blast from Kelly's Past Returns for Second Chance -- Plus, Surprise Celeb Audition

{content:

A contestant from Team Kelly Clarkson past returns to "The Voice," this time as part of a vocal group, but it's Niall Horan's perfect use of the Block that leaves her enraged.

Kelly Clarkson was dragged through the emotional wringer on the latest episode of "The Voice" as a surprise celebrity guest left the entire panel in stitches.

The biggest surprise for the returning Coach was when her chair turned to reveal a former member of Team Kelly from way back in Season 16, only now part of a singing group. It was a fun and shocking moment for her, but her euphoria wasn't too last.

The Voice Premiere 5th Judge: Singer from Blake Shelton's Hometown Plays Audio of Him Singing at 13

Clearly, the panel is a little nervous about Kelly's epic return after one season away, because for the second time in as many weeks, she was the recipient of an expertly-timed Block. This time, it was even more effective because the incredible artist was definitely hoping to be on her team.

Later, a surprise guest appearance by a celebrity impressionist -- that fooled Chance the Rapper! -- left the audience dying in their seats, and Blake absolutely refusing to turn his chair because he knew exactly who it was.

There's been an interesting progression across these two episodes with Niall Horan and his relationships with both Kelly and Blake Shelton. Not only do he and Blake have a cute father-son thing going on, but he's started sparring with Kelly in a fun way.

Blake leaving is potentially a huge blow to the show, but the strongest dynamic in the past several years has been his banter with Kelly. If she sticks around, and there's every indication she will, a new sparring partner for her could be just what the show needs. Could this be Niall's trial by fire for that position?

Fair warning, since I'm safe at home, I'm probably going to be a little harsher than my colleagues Kelly Clarkson, Chance the Rapper, Niall Horan, and Blake Shelton. But I might be nicer, too. Maybe.

And just for fun, I'm going to rank the performances from worst to first to see who my favorites are, and then see how they do as the season progresses.

Tom Sandoval Apologizes to Ariana Madix, Lala Kent Calls Him and Raquel Leviss 'Disgusting'

BLIND AUDITIONS

Alex Graham

("She Had Me at Heads Carolina," Cole Swindell - 24, Belmont, NC) Alex needs to work on breath control and not swallowing his words into that affected country twang. It sounded too much like trying too hard to sound authentic. He's already from that world, so just be himself and let the song come through him. It sounded like he was singing from the back of his throat, creating a sound that was ultimately just not compelling enough. His pitch was a little shaky and by the end it sounded like we were bellying up to the karaoke bar while a guy was having a great time on the stage.

Results: No Chairs Turn

Jimmy Fallon

("I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)," Michael McDonald - 48, New York, NY) As expected, Jimmy delivered a pretty spot-on impression of Michael for this track -- an impression we've seen him do before. It's always fun when a celebrity shows up to try and trick the Coaches, taking advantage of the "Blind" part of these "Auditions."

Results: 4-Chair Turn (Jimmy pressed Blake's button)

Carlos Rising

("Change the World," Eric Clapton - 28, Wilmington, NC) It was all very sweet tonally until he got to the chorus, when he added a little extra salt into his performance. That layer was so important to see, as it felt very one-note up until that point.  But that note proved enough to get Blake to turn. It took seeing all the layers he displayed as the routine progressed, which included some power, some grit and finally, finally some authenticity and belief in what he was singing to get a turn from Kelly at the last second.

Results: Kelly, Blake Turn [Team Blake]

Why Johnny Bananas Is Still Doing The Challenge After 17 Years (Exclusive)

Magnus Martin

("Sara Smile," Daryl Hall & John Oates - 25, Virginia Beach, VA) Magnus has had some success singing in choirs, but he never got his solo opportunity. Chance wasted no time taking a chance on Magnus, turning within the first few syllables. But it was immediately clear that silky texture in his voice. It's a classic soul and R&B sound that's become so rare in modern music. We'd have liked a little more on the upper end of his range, as he seemed to stop in full voice before really pushing himself (though he compensated with a bit of falsetto). He needs to be pushed to open up more vocally and challenge himself, but he's definitely someone to watch if he can embrace his own potential.

Results: Chance Turns [Team Chance]

Sheer Element

("Leave the Door Open," Silk Sonic - ss) Each of them is compelling and interesting and so different with how they use their voice individually, and then they come together with this really interesting harmonizing. They took a song with a distinct cadence and rhythm and turned it up a notch as a trio. Honestly, we could get on board with each one of them as a solo artist -- you know, like Season 16 Team Kelly contestant Jej Vinson. His soaring falsetto and tone are beautiful, and it's only grown stronger with this new partnership. The other two were also there when he got that four-chair turn.

Results: Kelly, Chance, Niall Turn [Team Kelly]

Kala Banham

("Both Sides Now," Joni Mitchell - 24, Windermere, FL) Kala hasn't performed since her days in competitive a cappella in college, letting her career take over. Her dream was to work with Kelly, making her over the moon when she found out Kelly was back this season. Unfortunately for Kala, Niall and Kelly were so in the same lane with the artists they were looking for -- and he was faster on the trigger. It's easy to see why, though, as Kala has everything you'd want in a singer from her haunting and ethereal gentle side to that beautifully rich tone when she hit the chorus. It was a perfect song choice to show off her mix of singer-songwriter and folk vibe. It's almost an angelic performance that makes you feel lighter for hearing it. By the end, Kelly was even shouting at Blake for not turning for her, and we'd have to agree

Results: Kelly, Chance, Niall Turn (Niall Blocks Kelly) [Team Niall]

Drew Barrymore Says Therapist Quit Over Her Drinking Habits Post-Divorce

COACHES BANTER

• "They did not turn around, that's crazy!" --Chance (about Magnus)
• "You turned around and you were so excited about it that I didn't want to take that from you." --Kelly
• "I don't feel bad at all." --Chance
• "We would have been beautiful together. I'm going to be stealing you, mark my words." --Kelly (to Kala after Niall Blocked her)
• "I can't stand you, Ireland." --Kelly (to Niall after Block)
• "Where's my lawyer?" --Niall (after Kelly smacks him with her jacket)
• "These are the Coaches you should be choosing from, so you're going to have to take your Chance here." --Blake (to Kala)
• "What are you doing?!" --Niall
• "Oh my god, there's, like, another one. I can't fight One Direction." --Kelly (comparing Niall to Blake)
• "I'm proud of you, son." --Blake
• "He's no good. Awful." --Blake (about Jimmy Fallon, with his back still turned)

"The Voice" continues Mondays at 8 p.m. ET and Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.

Outro
But what happens everyday is that, the system has allowed it.
For instance there is no law that allows you to take money from the church,
Invest in business, and privatize it no
It is only in Nigeria were you can take money from the church,
money contributed by poor congregation members
You go and set up a university that the members cannot attend
Cannot send their children to
It's against the rule and the law of God
It's against the constitution

Tom Sandoval Apologizes to Ariana Madix, Lala Kent Calls Him and Raquel Leviss 'Disgusting'

{content:

Of Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss, Lala Kent says, "I don't feel for them at all. But I never have. This just was like, 'You're disgusting' but never liked either of you."

Three days after apologizing to his business partners and pleading with people not to take out their anger and frustration on his restaurant, Tom Sandoval released a second apology -- this time for Ariana Madix.

The new statement was posted to Sandoval's Instagram late Tuesday night with the "Vanderpump Rules" star opening by apologizing to everyone, but "most of all, I want to apologize to Ariana."

Raquel Leviss Says Tom Sandoval Treats Her Like 'Little Sister' in Resurfaced Video

"I made mistakes, I was selfish, and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love," the statement continued. "No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly."

Sandoval and Madix have been dominant in media headlines over their split after nine years amid her discovery that he'd allegedly been cheating with co-star Raquel Leviss.

This newest statement is the closest either Sandoval or Leviss has come to publicly admitting to the alleged affair. In it, Sandoval writes, I dishonored Ariana." He went on to say he never meant to disappoint anyone, and concluded that he has work to do on himself.

"I wish things had happened in a different order and our relationship was not severely tarnished, and that it ended with the same respect with for her that it began with," Sandoval wrote. "I owed Ariana better."

"The choices I made hurt so many people," Sandoval noted, without detailing any of those choices. "I acted in a way that clashes with who and how I want to be."

In his previous apology statement issued over the weekend, Sandoval acknowledged that he "deserves" the fans' anger and disappointment, but emphasized that his business partners and employees should not suffer because of his actions.

Lala Kent has not been one to hold back her thoughts and feelings about the whole scandal since it first broke, and she continued to share her unfiltered thoughts during an Amazon Live appearance on Tuesday.

Of that first apology, she said simply, "Tell us you're a narcissist without telling us you're a narcissist. It's just so textbook to me." She has not yet commented on his just-released second apology.

According to E!, the rest of the "Vanderpump Rules" cast  -- including Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney and Kristen Doute -- were pictured arriving at Ariana's house to show their support during this difficult time.

When asked by a fan if anyone was on Sandoval's side, Kent bluntly said "no," noting that his "mask fell." She went on to say that maybe his business partner Tom Schwartz is still with him.

"I tried to tell y'all. He's weak," she said. "I said it first. Did I not? I said it first."

Kent said that while she has checked in with Madix in all of this, she also knows she's "a little abrupt for her right now." Kent explained, "I'm very intense and I don't know that that's the headspace she's in quite yet."

Kent said that she feels for almost everyone involved in the whole sordid affair. "Well, except for those two," she said, referring to Sandoval and Leviss. "I don't feel for them at all. But I never have. This just was like, 'You're disgusting' but [I] never liked either of you."

It's been a busy few days for the major players in this real-life drama.  TMZ reported that Sandoval visited a therapist for about two hours on Tuesday, though he's been in therapy for a while already. That same day, Leviss filed papers seeking protection from Shay, per TMZ.

The outlet can't confirm the reason, though rumors are it has to do with Shay allegedly getting violent with Leviss over the cheating scandal. Shay and Madix are best friends, so this could be a matter of Shay standing up for her BFF.

On Monday, attorneys for Leviss sent letters to several members of the cast per TMZ, regarding an intimate FaceTime video they had received, telling them it would be in violation of California's revenge porn law to distribute it as she did not give permission for it to be recorded.

Fans should get some clarity eventually, with Bravo announcing they have resumed production on Season 10 of "Vanderpump Rules" in order to include this latest "Scandoval." The current season launched last month.

In the meantime, fans have been working double-time to reverse engineer the alleged affair. See the link below for all their unearthed evidence.

Bindi Irwin Reveals Endometriosis Surgery

{content:

The zookeeper recalled her doctor asking her "how did you live with this much pain?" upon receiving her test results after a decade of suffering

Bindi Irwin is getting real about the health condition that's plagued her for the past decade.

The 24-year-old "Crikey! It's The Irwins" star got candid about her health when she revealed she was diagnosed with endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition where uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus which can cause extreme cramping and chronic pain.

Alongside a picture of herself in a hospital bed, Bindi addressed her previous reservations with sharing details surrounding her condition and how she acknowledged her responsibility to share her story with other women who may be struggling with the same diagnosis.

"For 10yrs I've struggled with insurmountable fatigue, pain & nausea," she began in her post on Instagram. "Trying to remain a positive person & hide the pain has been a very long road. These last 10yrs have included many tests, doctors visits, scans, etc."

Irwin explained how she almost gave up after a doctor chalked her pain up to typical menstrual cramps.

"A doctor told me it was simply something you deal with as a woman & I gave up entirely, trying to function through the pain," she confessed. "I didn't find answers until a friend @lesliemosier helped set me on a path of regaining my life. I decided to undergo surgery for endometriosis."

Though the idea of surgery was scary, the animal conservationist knew she couldn't live with the constant pain. Long story short, after a series of tests, doctors were able to find  "37 lesions, some very deep & difficult to remove, & a chocolate cyst."

Irwin recalled her doctor asking her "'how did you live with this much pain?'" and said that the "validation for years of pain is indescribable."

The television personality thanked her loved ones for pushing her to find the answers behind her 10 years of pain.

"I'm on the road to recovery & the gratitude I feel is overwhelming," she continued. "To those questioning the cancelled plans, unanswered messages & absence - I had been pouring every ounce of the energy I had left into our daughter & family."

"Things may look fine on the outside looking in through the window of someone's life, however, that is not always the case. Please be gentle & pause before asking me (or any woman) when we'll be having more children. After all that my body has gone through, I feel tremendously grateful that we have our gorgeous daughter," Irwin said of her daughter Grace Warrior with whom she shares with her husband Chandler Powell. "She feels like our family's miracle."

"I'm aware of millions of women struggling with a similar story," she concluded. "There's stigma around this awful disease. I'm sharing my story for anyone who reads this & is quietly dealing with pain & no answers. Let this be your validation that your pain is real & you deserve help. Keep searching for answers. www.endofound.org."

Why Johnny Bananas Is Still Doing The Challenge After 17 Years (Exclusive)

{content:

The 40-year-old self-described "Tom Brady of The Challenge" reveals what keeps him coming back -- before getting honest about the show's "negative side effects" and "consequences."

Johnny Devenanzio -- better known as Johnny Bananas -- made his reality TV debut on "The Real World: Key West" back in 2006 and never looked back. In the 17 years since that show, he's appeared on 21 seasons of MTV's "The Challenge" -- at least once a year, with the exception of 2021 -- winning seven times.

Bananas is one of the rare personalities who has made a nearly two-decade career out of appearing on reality TV -- "I consider it a real job, even though other people don't," he tells TooFab -- and this week, the 40-year-old Challenge legend is back at it again with his 22nd attempt at making it to (and possibly winning) host T.J. Lavin's final on "The Challenge: World Championship."

But what is it that keeps him coming back? Sure, that $500,000 prize can't hurt -- but, according to Bananas, that's not all that it's about.

"Every season I have to find something new to drive me because after seven wins it really is difficult to match the intensity and desire that people who have never won bring to the table," he explained.

After being paired with Nany González on "Ride or Dies" last year and coming in second place, Johnny said he was looking for some redemption. "We lost in the 97th hour of a 100 hour long final after 9 weeks of hell, I just let one slip through my fingers. So I feel like coming on this season, my motivation was to avenge the loss that was so close to winning," he added, saying he hoped to "right some wrongs."

Johnny said he previously considered leaving on top after winning "Total Madness" back in 2022, calling it an "emotionally, mentally and spiritually-draining season." But, pointing to Tom Brady's record of retiring and un-retiring from football, Bananas added, "You look at the guy and he's 45 years old ... he's still just as good, if not better, than 95% of the quarterbacks in the NFL. I kind of consider myself the Tom Brady of 'The Challenge.' And I think he considers himself the Johnny Bananas of the NFL."

While the highs are great, devoting his life to "The Challenge" has had some personal drawbacks for Bananas. Being away from home for long stretches of time, multiple times a year, doesn't exactly make a long-term relationship easy to maintain.

"I mean there's a reason why I'm 40 years old and I haven't settled down and don't have an immediate family of my own. I think that's one of the consequences of doing what I've done for so long at such a high level," he explained. "Here's the thing, there are some cast members who have stepped away and they have started families, got married, and whatever. I think the reason that I have, I guess, rose to the level of notoriety that I have over the years is because I've never stepped away, right?"

"And while certain cast members have and they have the benefit now of having a family and this other life, they also missed out I think on some very important years [of the show] and the fact that I have stuck with it all this entire time and the fact that I have never steered away and my focus and attention has always been on my career, I have the benefit of reaching the level that I have, of infamy and whatever you want to call it," he continued. "But then there's the drawback of not really ever having the time or ability to really be in a long term, meaningful relationship because I just feel like where I'm at right now and where I've come, I've invested so much time and energy, it's like my career in this point in my life is always going to come first."

Acknowledging that "something's gonna have to give at some point," Bananas also said that while it's "unfortunate that there are some negative side effects" to being career-driven, it's the choice he's made and focused on for the time being. And though he's definitely had moments of burnout, at the end of the day, he's thrilled to have a job where he loves "every aspect" of what he's doing.

"What I do is I weigh the pros and the cons, and it's like, yes, is it emotionally draining and soul sucking sometimes? And the confines of the challenge house and that whole experience, and the pressure cooker environment we're put in, and the negativity sometimes and the backlash and the hate that we receive online, there are drawbacks in those regards," he said. "However, I get to do what I love. I get to compete, I get to travel. I get to experience new places, meet new people."

"I look at it from that perspective, I feel like instead of working 365 days a year, stressing out all year, I cram all of my stress into 6-9 week blocks and then I have the rest of the year to do what I want to do, focus on the goals and my career aspirations," he added. "And you know, I have that time off. There's obviously really difficult aspects of 'The Challenge' that I have to deal with, however, when it's all balanced out, the pros far outweigh the cons."

In the many, many Challenges since 2006, the show has changed big-time. The season before Johnny's debut was the first to include people who hadn't previously been on either "Road Rules" or "Real World," opening up the competitor pool to some major heavy-hitters. In addition to the contestants becoming more cutthroat, the challenges they're thrown into daily have also intensified ... leading to, as Bananas put it, a never-ending cycle.

"When I first started 'The Challenge' way back in 2006, The Challenge was just making its transition from a game show with circus-y type games, it was a sideshow. The challenge aspect was a sideshow. It was all about the drama, the house reality, the challenges were just something to break up the monotony in the house," said Bananas. "The evolution that took place then is when it turned from a reality show into a legit physical, athletic competition show."

"Back in the day when we'd do 'The Challenge,' there was no fitness equipment in the house. They didn't have a treadmill, they didn't have a yoga mat. You'd show up and everyone would be in the shape that they were in and everyone would slowly, over the season, deteriorate," he recalled. "Finals were six hours long, the show was less than a month, and over time with the evolution of more difficult challenges, it forced players to take the physical fitness aspect of the show more seriously."

With that, he said, came the addition of gyms to the house, so players could maintain their physiques ... and also more difficult challenges to "measure up to the increased competition." He cracked, "the competition's getting better and younger and I'm over here getting older and wiser and more handsome."

At 40, the reality star still said he doesn't "really see retirement in sight" when it comes to being on the show. While he may not have the "same physical intensity and endurance, strength, stamina" that he once had, Bananas said he can now rely "a lot more on my methods of manipulation and my connivery and my tomfoolery."

"These guys just keep getting more and more physically intense but if one thing 'The Challenge' has shown, it's a mind game and I think my mind is still there and you know?" he added. "We'll see."

Outside of current, never-ending gig, Johnny said he'd also love to "take the skill sets that I've developed" and apply them to other reality TV competitions. While being stuck in a house for months on "Big Brother" doesn't exactly appeal to him, he said he'd be down for the shorter "Celebrity Big Brother" seasons, as well as something like "Survivor," "The Amazing Race" or "Dancing with the Stars."

"And who knows? 'Teen Mom' could potentially be in my future at some point too!" he quipped.

Let's hope not.

"The Challenge: World Championship" premieres Wednesday, March 8 on Paramount+.

Sharon Stone Was Hospitalized for Heart Issues After Losing Custody of Son

{content:

The Basic Instinct star claims the judge asked her small son, 'Do you know your mother makes sex movies?'

Sharon Stone is opening up about the traumatic repercussions of her role in 1992's "Basic Instinct."

During an appearance on the iHeartPodcast "Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi," the 64-year-old revealed she was admitted to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota after she lost custody of her son Roan back in the early 2000s. Stone shares Roan with her ex-husband Phil Bronstein.

"I lost custody of my child. When the judge asked my child – my tiny little boy, 'Do you know your mother makes sex movies?'" Stone said.

"Like, this kind of abuse by the system," she added, "because I made that movie."

"Basic Instinct" featured a controversial implied nudity scene that took the world by storm, which Stone claims influenced the judge's decision to take away custody of her son.

"People are walking around with no clothes on at all on regular TV now and you saw maybe like a sixteenth of a second of possible nudity of me – and I lost custody of my child," the "Casino" star said.

After she lost Roan, the actress revealed she was admitted for medical care. "I ended up in the Mayo Clinic with extra heartbeats in the upper and lower chambers of my heart…it broke my heart," she explained.

Stone also said the film had other lasting impacts on her life and career among her peers.

"I got nominated for a Golden Globe for that part [in Basic Instinct]" she began. "When I went to the Golden Globes, and they called my name, a bunch of people in the room laughed."
