Ultimately, the state high court ruled that the Mighty Ducks actor should not have been charged after he entered a non-prosecution agreement with the State Attorney’s Office in Cook County. The court also noted it had remanded the case back to the circuit court to enter a judgement of dismissal. Since the controversy—which saw the celeb accused of paying two brothers $2,500 to stage the hate crime—Jussie announced he would be donating $50,000 as part of a settlement with the city of Chicago, as well as an additional $10,000 on top of that. “Though I was exonerated by the Illinois…

Stepping into the world of RuPaul’s Drag Race is anything but ordinary, so imagine having to design that world from the ground up. Though production designer Jen Chu didn’t draft the look of Drag Race from its dawn in 2009, she did have the tall order of giving the show’s set a much-needed revamp after 16 seasons of the same iconic main stage. And, yes, “iconic” is the word to describe the famed set of the MTV reality competition, defined by that main stage where hundreds of queens have sashayed, shantayed and lip-synced their way to drag royalty. The show…

From a stadium-wide cheer when the rainstorm ended to an unexpected plane appearance, these are the unforgettable moments. Stray Kids JYP Entertainment Stray Kids‘ concert on Thursday (June 19) truly embodied their 2020 single “Thunderous” when a severe thunderstorm watch in the New York City area put the show into jeopardy with the scheduled 7:30 p.m. start time indefinitely pushed back. But similar to how SKZ got the last laugh in the empowering track, the rain ultimately did not cause a cancellation, and the group was able to blast into their set around 8:45 p.m. to the delight of tens of…
Fire, ICE, COVID; Harry and Meghan, Oprah, Gwyneth: These are some but certainly not all of the factors driving Montecito real estate into the stratosphere. The post-pandemic influx of celebrities and royals, as well as local restaurant openings that look more like red carpet events, have catapulted the small, unincorporated town of fewer than 10,000 people into the real estate stratosphere, while much of Southern California stagnates. Through the end of May, closed sales are up 31 percent compared to the same period in 2024, according to Riskin Partners Estate Group. Even more staggering: Since 2019, the median price for…

“This is my hair,” Jenna declared with Leslie by her side. “I feel a little… You know that ’90s movie Single White Female, where you try to copy somebody to such an extent? You made this haircut so famous, and then I used your hairstylist, who is a star, to get the exact same haircut, and I’m feeling a little strange.” And while Leslie raved about Jenna’s new look, the TV host admitted it may take some getting used to. “There’s a lot of change happening and I feel a little embarrassed by the attention,” she confessed. “I know, the people…
Morgan Wallen continued his trend of making grand entrances with sports icons during the launch of his I’m the Problem tour in Texas. Before taking the stage at Houston’s NRG Stadium on Friday (June 20), the 32-year-old country superstar made an electrifying entrance at the home of the NFL’s Houston Texans. This time, he was joined by former Texans legend Andre Johnson. Wallen and Johnson walked side by side as their moment was broadcast on the venue’s jumbotrons, with Wallen’s 2022 hit “Broadway Girls” featuring Lil Durk blasting through the speakers.

Ouch. Universal’s live-action How to Train Your Dragon will have no trouble staying No. 1 in its second weekend with an estimated $35.7 million despite the entry of zombie sequel 28 Years Later and the animated Elio — which is headed for the lowest opening in the history of Pixar amid a crowded marketplace for family fare.
