Anne Heche: Toxicology Report Indicates Presence of Drugs at Time of Crash
Actor Anne Heche, 53, remains in a coma following a high-speed car crash into a Los Angeles home on August 5th. Law enforcement officials conducted a toxicology report from blood drawn at the hospital, and according to TMZ, Heche had cocaine in her system at the time of the accident. The blood sample also showed the presence of fentanyl. It’s unclear at this time if the drug was administered by hospital staff after the crash or taken by Heche beforehand. No evidence of alcohol was found, which is notable because TMZ obtained a photo that appeared to show a bottle of alcohol in the cupholder of her Mini Cooper. As a result of the toxicology report, Heche is being investigated for felony DUI, the Los Angeles Police Department told CNN. Advertisement Related Video Heche was driving throu...

Lin-Manuel Miranda Launches Ham4Choice to Fundraise for Abortion Access
Not long after a church in Texas turned Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton into an evangelist nightmare, the playwright himself has announced the launch of Ham4Choice, a philanthropic effort to raise funds for organizations that province abortion access and other reproductive health services across the country. Better yet, from now until September 22nd, a $10 donation to Ham4Choice not only helps those most directly impacted by the Supreme Court’s recent overturning of Roe v. Wade, but it also gets you the chance to win tickets — plus hotel and airfare — to not one, but three Hamilton shows. First, the winner and a guest will get to see the musical’s opening night in Hamburg, Germany, where they’ll meet Miranda and partake in pre- and post-show festivities. Then, they’ll get to c...
Pete Davidson in Trauma Therapy Following Harassment from Kanye West: Report
Pete Davidson is reportedly in trauma therapy following the belligerent online harassment he experienced at the hands of Kanye West. A source told People that Davidson began seeking help in April of this year “in large part” due to the rapper’s consistent verbal and physical threats against him, sparked by the Saturday Night Live alum’s romantic relationship with West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian: “The attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics is a trigger for [Davidson], and he’s had to seek out help,” the source added. In addition to his social media tirades, West also encouraged his fans to publicly harass Davidson, and even released music videos that depicted him decapitatating, skinning, and burying the comedian alive. After nine month of dating, h...
Britney Spears’ Ex-Husband Kevin Federline Says Britney’s Kids Are Avoiding Her
Kevin Federline, Britney Spears’ ex-husband with whom she shares two children, said in a new interview with The Daily Mail that their kids have been avoiding their mother and are embarrassed by her frequent postings of nude selfies. In a sprawling interview, Federline said Spears’ sons, 15-year-old Jayden and 16-year-old Sean, have chosen not to see their mom in recent months and didn’t attend her recent wedding to model Sam Asghari. While he declined to go into details, Federline said the boys grew uncomfortable with what they witnessed during their visits in recent years. “There were a lot of things going on that I didn’t feel comfortable with,” Federline said. At the same time, Federline pointed to Spears’ Instagram — namely, the nude pictures she’s taken to posting on her account — as ...
Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian Breakup
Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian have reportedly broken up after nine months of dating. A source close to Kardashian told Page Six that “Kim and Pete have decided to just be friends,” adding: “They have a lot of love and respect for each other, but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.” The source stressed that the breakup had nothing to do with Kardashian’s ex-husband, Kanye West, who repeatedly berated Davidson over the course of his relationship with Kardashian. Related Video Davidson and Kardashian began dating shortly after Kardashian hosted SNL in October 2021. They made their red carpet debut at the White House’s Correspondents Dinner in April of this year, and also appeared together at the Met Gala — to which...
Jury Orders Alex Jones to Pay Sandy Hook Parents $4 Million in Damages
A Texas jury has ordered conspiracy theorist and Infowars owner Alex Jones to pay the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim $4 million in compensatory damages in an ongoing defamation lawsuit. Jones has spent almost a decade arguing that the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School — which left 28 people, including 20 children, dead — was a hoax, and that the parents of the victims were “crisis actors” upholding the lie. One set of parents, Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin, sued Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, in 2018 for defamation, and originally asked for $150 million in compensatory damages. In a verdict signed by 10 members of the 12-member jury, the group landed on $4 million, but a separate trial to decide how much Jones will pay in punitive damages is still forthco...
Errol Musk Says “No,” He’s Not Proud of Elon, Calls Skinnier Son His Favorite
Errol Musk continues to make his son Elon look better by comparison. In a new interview with The Kyle & Jackie Show, the elder Musk said, “No,” when asked if he’s proud of the Tesla founder, before going on to fat-sham Elon, recommended a weight-loss supplement that has been called “dangerous,” and then tell the world which of his children is actually his favorite. The 79-year-old patriarch explained that he wasn’t over-the-moon about his 51-year-old’s accomplishments because “we are a family that have been doing a lot of things for a long time. It’s not as if we suddenly started doing something.” He also joked (?) that Elon owed his smarts to “a chap who used to visit us when I wasn’t at home… he delivered milk,” and complained about how long different Elon projects are taki...
Vince McMahon Announces Retirement from WWE
Vince McMahon, the longtime chairman and CEO of WWE who is credited with bringing professional wrestling into the mainstream and establishing the careers of Hollywood A-listers like Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Dave Bautista, has announced his retirement. McMahon’s departure from WWE comes amidst an internal investigation into allegations that he paid multiple women to keep quiet about alleged affairs and misconduct. According to the Wall Street Journal, at least $12 million dollars in hush money was paid to four different women who were formerly associated with the WWE over the last 16 years. “As I approach 77 years old, I feel it’s time for me to retire as Chairman and CEO of WWE,” McMahon said in a statement. “Throughout the years, it’s been a privilege to help WWE bring you joy,...
Elon Musk’s Father Errol Had a Secret Child with His Own Stepdaughter
In 2019 Errol Musk, the 76-year-old father of Elon Musk, quietly had a child, a baby girl, with his own stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout. It was their second child together, following the birth of Elliot Rush — called Rushi — in 2018. Their daughter had remained a secret until this week, when Musk gave a new interview to The Sun. “She wasn’t planned,” he said. “But I mean, we were living together. [Jana] stayed here for about 18 months after Rushi was born.” Musk is 41 years older than Bezuidenhout. He was married to her mother Heide for 18 years, and had raised Jana since she was four years old. When news of her first pregnancy broke in 2018, it reportedly caused a bitter rift between Errol and son Elon, who was furious at his father for impregnating his stepsister. Adv...
Senate Candidate John Fetterman Hires Snooki to Troll Opponent Dr. Oz: “Jersey Will Not Forget You”
Despite living in New Jersey for several decades, Dr. Oz is running for the open Pennsylvania seat on the US Senate — something Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman, his opponent, has strong feelings about. To make his qualms clear, Fetterman enlisted a little help from the Queen of New Jersey, Nicole “Snooki” LaValle, to remind Dr. Oz to never forget where he comes from. “Hey, Mehmet, this is Nicole ‘Snooki,’” the reality star says in a Cameo video shared on social media Thursday, adding that she heard Dr. Oz “moved from New Jersey to Pennsylvania to look for a new job.” “Personally, I don’t know why anyone would want to leave Jersey, ’cause it’s like the best place ever, and we’re all hot messes, but I want to say best of luck to you. I know you’re away from home and you...
