When police in New Rochelle, New York, stopped a 24-year-old man for jogging on active Metro-North railroad tracks last month, the routine trespassing citation took a turn. The man's mother got on the phone, and, according to a police source, wanted officers to know exactly who she was. That mother was Sunny Hostin, the 57-year-old co-host of ABC's The View, former federal prosecutor, and now, according to court filings, her own son's defense attorney.

That is one way to describe a product that let any user generate AI images of any public Instagram account holder simply by tagging their username in a prompt, and never bothered to tell…Open

Jennifer Lopez cannot unload the sprawling Beverly Crest estate she once shared with Ben Affleck. A prospective buyer who had put down a "substantial" deposit pulled out of the deal this week, leaving the 56-year-old entertainer stuck with a 46,000-square-foot property that has been a financial anchor since the couple first tried to sell it more than two years ago.

The identity of the buyer remains unknown, and Lopez's representatives have not publicly commented. The collapse marks the latest chapter in a real estate saga that mirrors the wreckage of the Affleck-Lopez…Open

Days after appearing at Wimbledon, Lady Amelia Spencer Mallett and her twin sister Lady Eliza Spencer traded the manicured lawns of southwest London for the Turkish Riviera, posting sun-soaked Instagram snapshots from Belek, Antalya, that opened a wider window onto how Europe's young aristocracy is spending the summer of 2025.

The Daily Mail chronicled the circuit in a sprawling feature that reads like a social register crossed with a travel brochure,…Open
