Actress Hayden Panettiere says giving full custody of her daughter to ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko was the hardest decision of her life, one she insists saved her child from a public, damaging legal fight.

In an interview with Fox News Digital , she described a years-long spiral of postpartum depression, alcohol dependence, and near-fatal childbirth complications that preceded the 2018 custody arrangement, and pushed back against public criticism that she had simply "given up" her daughter Kaya. Klitschko, the former heavyweight boxing champion, presented Panettiere with papers seeking full custody when Kaya was about…Open

Ricki Lake marked the two-year anniversary of her facelift by posting unfiltered before-and-after photos on Instagram, a level of candor about cosmetic surgery that remains rare among public figures. The former daytime talk show host disclosed in an Instagram post that she underwent a deep plane lower face and neck lift along with a mild CO2 laser procedure in 2024. She named Dr. Allen Foulad as her surgeon and said the results had been "remarkable, natural, and long-lasting." The Sun reported on the post, which included a series of images showing Lake before the procedure, immediately after, and in recent photos she said were taken without makeup or a filter.

The "Today" show anchor is on a family vacation days after a man with a lengthy criminal record slipped past security, confronted Melvin on set, and now faces multiple hate crime charges. Craig Melvin was missing from Monday's "Today" broadcast, with co-anchor Savannah Guthrie offering a brief, breezy explanation: "We've got Sheinelle in for Craig, who's getting a little family vacation." Sheinelle Jones sat in the 47-year-old anchor's chair. NBC offered no further comment on the timing, just days after a security failure at the network's own New York City headquarters left Melvin face-to-face with an intruder who called him a racial slur and demanded to know where Al Roker was. The network is treating the week off as routine. The…Open

A rising professional boxer with an 8-0-1 record was struck and killed while cycling on a rural Texas road, and the driver, who authorities say deliberately reversed into her, now faces a manslaughter charge.

The sequence authorities described, a driver passing a cyclist, stopping, and then backing into her, points to something far worse than a momentary lapse behind the wheel. No…Open
