Getty Images Last year, in response to a clip of Dua Lipa performing at a private McDonald’s event, the official X (formerly Twitter) account of Burger King UK joked, “Well we are going to bring out Lady Gaga at our next event.” There's been no update on whether Gaga made it to that subsequent event, but she has definitely stopped by a Burger King since. On X today (January 16), a Lady Gaga fan account shared a security video of Gaga at a BK, supposedly filmed in King City, California yesterday. In the video, Gaga does some classic waiting in the seemingly empty restaurant, sipping from one of the two drinks she’s holding, wandering around the ordering area, and generally meandering. After about 25 seconds, a man (Gaga’s fiancé Michael Polansky, the fan account says) emerges from what would seem to be the bathroom, and the two leave the fast food eatery together. As they make their way out, another patron walks in and catches a glimpse of Gaga as she strolls past the pop star. Initially, she continues on her path, but then does a double-take, followed by a triple-take, her expression suggesting disbelief at having spotted Lady Gaga in an unexpected location like a Burger King on a Wednesday. It’s a fun video, so check it out here.

Wendy Williams is pushing back against claims that she is suffering from cognitive impairment following her diagnosis of progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. The former talk-show host appeared on "The Breakfast Club" on Thursday, where she refuted the notion that she requires the extensive care she is currently receiving. Charlamagne tha God, a co-host of the show and a long-time friend of Williams, introduced her, stating that she is "being taken advantage of." "I am not cognitively impaired," Williams asserted, adding, "But I do feel like I am in prison." She described her living situation among residents in their 70s, 80s, and 90s, emphasizing that at 60, she still feels "sexy and gorgeous." She expressed concern about the well-being of those around her, saying, "There's something wrong with these people here on this floor." Last year, Williams' representatives announced her diagnosis of progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, conditions known to affect cognitive abilities and communication, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. During her conversation with "The Breakfast Club," she voiced her dissatisfaction with the facility's restrictions, noting that she is not allowed to leave or have visitors. "You can't even leave and take a walk if you wanted to," she lamented. Accompanying her was her niece, Alex Fannie, who described her aunt's residence as a "luxury prison." Fannie recounted her own experience visiting Williams, highlighting the excessive security measures and intrusive questioning she faced. "I mean, it was absolutely just horrible," she said, adding that her aunt is unable to contact family or friends or access the internet. Williams expressed feeling "trapped in a conservatorship" and lamented spending several birthdays alone, which she likened to "emotional abuse." In 2022, she was placed under a court-ordered financial guardianship. CNN has reached out to her legal guardian, attorney Sabrina Morrissey, for a response. Williams hosted the widely popular "The Wendy Williams Show" from 2008 until its cancellation in 2022, facing numerous health challenges in the latter years of the show's run. In 2017, she collapsed during a live episode due to an electrolyte imbalance, and by 2018, she took a medical leave for Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder. In 2019, various guest hosts stepped in as she recovered from a shoulder fracture. Williams was unable to host her show during the 2021-2022 season, leading to its eventual cancellation. Fannie criticized the conservatorship system and suggested that a new medical evaluation could potentially restore some of her aunt's independence. "I'm not asking for a whole lot," Fannie stated. "All I'm saying is just treat the woman with dignity and give her the freedoms that she deserves." CNN — Wendy Williams is responding to claims suggesting that she is struggling with impairment following her diagnosis of progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. The former talk-show host spoke with the "The Breakfast Club" on Thursday, where she denied that she needs the level of care she's currently receiving. Charlamagne tha God, one of the co-hosts of the show and a friend of Williams for two decades, welcomed her as a guest and remarked that Williams is "being exploited." "I may not have any cognitive impairments," Williams stated. "However, I do feel as though I am trapped in a prison." Williams shared that she finds herself "surrounded by people in their 90s, 80s, and 70s," and noted that at 60, she still feels "sexy and beautiful." Despite the advanced age of those around her, she remarked, "There’s definitely something off about the people on this floor." Representatives for Williams announced last year that she was diagnosed with progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in 2023. The conditions can impair cognitive function, communication and speech in impacted individuals, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. On Thursday, Williams had a lengthy discussion with "The Breakfast Club," where she shared her disappointment regarding the restrictions at her current living facility, stating that it doesn't permit her to leave or have any visitors. "You can't even step out for a walk if that's what you wanted to do," Williams remarked. Her niece, Alex Fannie, accompanied her and remarked that her aunt is residing in what she describes as a "luxury prison." "She spends all her time in that same room, day in and day out, without getting enough natural light," her niece remarked. "When I visited her in New York last October, the security measures and the barrage of questions I faced—like, 'Who are you? What brings you here? What's your intention?'—were just terrible." Finnie mentioned that her aunt is unable to contact family or friends, nor can she access the internet. Williams expressed that she feels "confined within a conservatorship" and has celebrated multiple birthdays in solitude, likening the experience to "emotional abuse." In 2022, Williams was assigned a court-mandated financial guardian. CNN has contacted her legal representative, attorney Sabrina Morrissey, for a statement. Williams ran her well-known daytime talk show "The Wendy Williams Show" from 2008 until 2022. As the show's production neared its conclusion, she encountered several health challenges. Williams passed while hosting an episode in 2017, later explaining that an electrolyte imbalance had caused her to collapse. She took a medical leave from production in 2018 to deal with Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder, on her doctor's orders. In 2019, multiple guest hosts filled in for Williams for several weeks as she recovered from a fractured shoulder. Williams was unable to present her show during the 2021-2022 television season, leading to its eventual cancellation. Finnie expressed concerns about the conservatorship system and wondered whether a new medical assessment could potentially help her aunt regain a degree of independence. "I'm not asking for much," Fannie expressed. "All I'm asking is to treat the woman with respect. She deserves the freedoms that are rightfully hers."

Princess Anne put on a stylish display in a crimson coat as she visited a charity in Cheltenham today. Situated at the Gloucestershire Airport Training Facility in Staverton, the organization known as Wings for Warriors provides training for wounded, injured, or ill servicemen and veterans, helping them become professional pilots. The 74-year-old royal appeared to be wearing the same red jacket she sported while attending last month's Christmas Day service at Sandringham as she made her appearance. She accessorized her coat with a sizable gold brooch at the neckline, complementing it with a dark-hued midi skirt. The mother of Zara Tindall, 43, and Peter Phillips, 46, completed her ensemble with black leather gloves, and a small black handbag. Throughout her visit, the Princess Royal was spotted smiling while engaging in conversation with fellow attendees at the event. At one point, she was presented with wings worn by test pilot Peter Wilson on the first ever landing of an F-35 plane on HMS Queen Elizabeth. Wings for Warriors states that, 'For numerous servicemen and women, transitioning to civilian life can often seem daunting and unpredictable, even under normal circumstances. When a life-altering injury is factored in, the outlook on the future can swiftly turn bleak and disheartening.' View pictures in App save up to 80% data.

During her visit, the royal was gifted with the wings that belonged to test pilot Peter Wilson, commemorating the historic first landing of an F-35 aircraft on HMS Queen Elizabeth (as shown in the picture). Rather than focusing on a temporary project or challenge, we equip our wounded warriors with the necessary skills to secure an exciting, fulfilling, and lasting future for years ahead. "We restore confidence, enhance skills, and foster pride, assisting veterans in supporting their families far into the future." The charity announced last June that it would be opening a new flight training school in Gloucestershire in late 2024. Announcing the news, Charity founder and CEO Mark Radcliffe said at the time: 'What we do isn’t just about flying. "It's about revealing the exceptional and exclusive realm we inhabit as aviators, using it to motivate remarkable individuals who may need a bit of luck to set their sights high and persevere." Despite having an extremely busy 2024, taking on more royal engagements amid King Charles's cancer battle, Anne is unlikely to slow down soon, with further engagements booked in her diary this week. This is despite suffering her own health woes, after sustaining a head injury last June which the royal has said she 'can't remember a single thing' about. View pictures in App save up to 80% data.

Anne took some rare time off after the accident, which doctors believe was consistent with being struck by a horse. After the incident, she was taken to hospital on June 23 with minor head wounds and concussion after walking around her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire. At that moment, Buckingham Palace revealed that the Princess Royal was being monitored in the hospital after an incident occurred. Princess Anne seems to have completely healed after her injury. Just three weeks later, she returned to work, marking her comeback with a visit to the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) National Championships held at Hartpury University and Hartpury College in July.

(Credits: Far Out / YouTube Image Still) Burt Reynolds might never have achieved the dramatic prowess of Marlon Brando or the industry influence of Clint Eastwood, but he was an undisputed star in his heyday, balancing rugged masculinity with self-aware humour. Movies like Smokey and the Bandit made him an icon of the 1970s, while his breakout role in John Boorman’s Deliverance proved that he could do more than project charisma. Reynolds secured his start as an actor after an injury forced him to stop playing college football. He knocked around on television for a while, playing cops and hunky blacksmiths before he bridged the gap to movies. He hit the peak of his career in the late 1970s and early ‘80s, playing hyper-masculine characters in movies like Semi-Tough and Cannonball Run. He rarely appeared in critically acclaimed movies, but it didn’t matter; he was one of the most popular stars in America. By the late 1980s, Reynolds' career was on the decline. His portrayals began to feel increasingly redundant, putting him at risk of turning into a caricature of his former self. Throughout this time, he faced a series of commercial failures, one of which led to his most challenging encounter with a female co-star. The film was 1988’s Switching Channels, a remake of the 1928 play (and 1931 film) The Front Page, which was also adapted into the classic 1940 romantic comedy His Girl Friday. Reynolds stars as the director of a cable network whose ex-wife, played by Kathleen Turner, is his star news anchor. They spar constantly, but ultimately, of course, fall madly back in love. Unfortunately, things were not so romantic off-screen. In a 2018 interview with The Palm Springs Desert Sun, Reynolds identified the film as one of his biggest professional mistakes, pointing directly to Turner as the cause. “That was the only leading lady I couldn’t get along with at all,” he confessed. “She had this thing about me and she was probably right. I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. But, at least I was trying to be nice to everybody.” When the interviewer inquired if he was referring to Turner, Reynolds casually responded, “Yep.” It was almost as if he was signaling, “Let’s move on to the next topic.” This is a fairly diplomatic description of an unpleasant on-set experience, especially considering that Reynolds was not the only one who found Turner to be a challenging co-star. Although she was one of the most prominent actors in the ‘80s with movies like Romancing the Stone, Body Heat, and Peggy Sue Got Married, she frequently clashed with other actors and suffered a sharp career decline. For her part, Turner was equally unimpressed with Reynolds and once said that he was responsible for the worst on-screen kiss of her career. In a 2018 interview with Vanity Fair, she gave her side of the feud. “Working with Burt Reynolds was terrible,” she said, revealing that he made her cry on the very first day of shooting. “He said something about not taking second place to a woman,” she continued. “His behaviour was shocking. It never occurred to me that I wasn’t someone’s equal.” It goes without saying that they never collaborated again. Associated Subjects
"And you know what? It's high time. Diddy's finished." View pictures in App save up to 80% data. Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images for Vulture Festival Wendy Williams is convinced that Sean “Diddy” Combs will never see freedom again. During a recent call-in with The Breakfast Club on Thursday (Jan. 16), the legendary talk show host didn’t hold back when asked about the disgraced Bad Boy CEO. "Williams forecasted, 'Diddy is facing a lifetime behind bars, folks. You have no idea of the secrets I’ve known about him from years ago. Honestly, it’s about time this happened. Diddy’s time is up.'" Her long-standing grudge against Combs dates back to 1998 when she alleged he “single-handedly” got her fired from Hot 97. In her 2004 book, The Wendy Williams Experience, she wrote about her “contempt” for Diddy and the struggles she endured because of him. “The hell he put me through—I will never forget. But I don’t hate him,” she said. In 2019, she alleged that a certain influential "music mogul" dispatched a group of women to confront her outside a radio station, with many suggesting that Diddy was behind the scheme. "There was a time when a music mogul sent his female entourage to assault me right in front of the radio station. It's true!" she recounted back then. "After I completed my shift, I took off my headphones, slung my bag over my shoulder, and noticed a crowd gathering at the window, all staring down at the sidewalk." The media maven’s disdain for the 55-year-old isn’t a new feeling as she accused the Hip-Hop mogul of derailing her career in 1998. After a few other syndicated radio shows, Williams went on to have her own daytime talk show from 2008 to 2022, when production stopped due to her health. A year later the National Radio Hall of Famer was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and progressive aphasia—although she’s asserted that she’s “not cognitively impaired.” During the TBC interview, Williams emotionally opened up about her conservatorship, which she compared to a “luxury prison.” She said, “My life is a mess. It feels like I’m trapped in a cage. I’m really alone. I keep my door shut, spend my time watching TV, listening to the radio, and staring out the window. I just sit here as time passes me by. I’m surrounded by people in their 90s, 80s, and 70s. There’s something off about the folks on this floor.” Through her tears, she pleaded, “They won’t let you go or have anyone come to see you. You can’t even step outside for a walk, go on a trip, or see your family. I’m terrified I won’t get to celebrate my dad’s 94th birthday with him. The day after that isn’t guaranteed.” View pictures in App save up to 80% data. On July 23, 2019, Wendy Williams participated in a SiriusXM Town Hall event, which was hosted by SiriusXM's Karen Hunter at the SiriusXM Studios in New York City. This event was captured by Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images for SiriusXM. As for Diddy, he’s currently being held in an actual jail as he awaits trial, which is scheduled to begin on May 5. He is held on the federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking—which he has denied any wrongdoing. The father of seven has faced bail denial on three separate occasions, with prosecutors asserting that his purported participation in "freak-off" sex parties involved pressuring both women and men into engaging in extreme activities, some of which are reportedly recorded on video. If found guilty, Diddy could potentially receive a life sentence in prison.

Over the years, Saturday Night Live has encountered a number of controversies. A show couldn't be on air for 50 years and not have a few scandals. Saturday Night Live is celebrating its 50th year on the air this year. The beloved late night show always has a host and musical guest every episode, sometimes one person doing both. But while shows sometimes go smoothly, every once in a while, a weekly guest doesn't stick to the script. The show is always shot live, which can sometimes work against the cast and crew. Here's a few of the guests over the years that caused a few eyebrows to raise. Ashlee Simpson's lip-syncing incident View pictures in App save up to 80% data. Ashlee Simpson expressed her desire to avoid performing with pre-recorded vocals. During the peak of her fame, Ashlee Simpson appeared as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live in 2004. She performed her popular track, Pieces of Me, earlier in the evening without any issues. However, when she stepped onto the stage for her second performance of "Autobiography," it became apparent that she was lip-syncing, as the track from her earlier song began to play. Caught off guard, Ashlee momentarily panicked, danced a bit, and then quickly exited the stage. The incident has gained widespread attention, as Ashlee revealed last year that she relied on pre-recorded vocals due to illness. Despite her objections, her record label urged her to go through with the performance. Ashlee remembered feeling anxious, saying, "My band hasn’t rehearsed this, this isn’t going to turn out well, I can’t handle this." Martin Lawrence 'prohibited' View pictures in App save up to 80% data. Locating the complete monologue can be quite challenging. In 1994, comedian Martin Lawrence made a memorable appearance on Saturday Night Live as the host, delivering a monologue that veered completely off script during the live broadcast. The complete monologue was removed from online platforms, leaving only a handful of clips accessible. In the contentious segment, Martin made inappropriate remarks regarding the scent of women's private areas, resulting in more than 200 complaints. This uproar prompted sponsors of the show to voice their objections, ultimately resulting in Martin's ban from the program. Adrian Brody's poor imitation View pictures in App save up to 80% data. Adrian mentioned that he was never asked to return to SNL. In 2003, Adrian Brody deviated from the script by performing a Jamaican impression just before he introduced the Jamaican artist Sean Paul. The star of The Pianist surprised both the audience at home and the cast behind the scenes by wearing a dreadlock wig and adopting an unusual accent. There were whispers that this incident led to Adrian being banned from the late-night show; however, the actor recently clarified that he was never informed of any ban, although he has not received an invitation to return since then. Sinead O'Connor speaks out against the Pope. View pictures in App save up to 80% data. Sinead O'Connor voiced her dissent against the Catholic Church. One of the most notorious incidents in Saturday Night Live history occurred when Sinead O'Connor staged a protest against the Catholic Church regarding its handling of child sexual abuse, an issue that Pope John Paul II had not addressed at that point. Following her a cappella rendition of Bob Marley's song "War," the late artist displayed a picture of the pope and tore it apart, stating directly to the camera: "Fight the real enemy." The audience expressed their strong disapproval, even booing Sinead during a tribute concert for Bob Dylan just two weeks later. In her 2021 memoir, Rememberings, she revealed that she had no regrets regarding her protest. "People crave a pop star, don't they?" she penned. "But I'm a protest singer. I had things weighing on my mind that needed to be expressed. Fame was never my goal." Kanye West's stance on political issues View pictures in App save up to 80% data. Kanye expressed his backing for Donald Trump. This controversial incident never aired. In 2018, during Donald Trump's initial term as president, Kanye West appeared as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Following his performance of the song Ghost Town, the rapper put on a red Make America Great Again hat and delivered a speech in support of Trump, which was met with boos from the audience. Chris Redd, who was an SNL cast member at the time, later shared with the Daily Beast that he had anticipated the moment, noting that Kanye had pulled a similar move during the dress rehearsal. “Even with the music still going, folks were just chilling and enjoying the moment,” Chris recalled. “But I was focused on what he was saying, thinking to myself, ‘Man, he’s about to drop some nonsense.’ I wasn’t about to get caught up in that on stage. I refuse to support it. I’ve admired Kanye for as long as I can remember, and I really miss the old Kanye.” Subscribe to our FREE newsletter and receive the latest headlines directly in your inbox!

The former Wendy Williams Show host offered up her prediction on Diddy’s fate in a Thursday, January 16, interview with Charlamagne tha God on “The Breakfast Club.” “She stated, 'Diddy is facing a life sentence, everyone. You have no idea about the things I’ve learned about him from the past.'” Although Williams, 60, did not provide additional details, her relationship with Diddy, 55, has been tumultuous for many years. Their conflict began in 1998 when Williams was let go from her radio program on Hot 97. She attributed her dismissal to the music mogul, whom she had publicly criticized on several occasions during her broadcasts. "You know what? It's high time, everyone. It really is. Diddy is finished," she remarked on Thursday. View pictures in App save up to 80% data. Johnny Louis / Getty Images Diddy was arrested in September 2024 on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering and faces numerous accusations of sexual assault. He has pleaded not guilty and denied all the allegations against him. “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” his attorney Marc Agnifilo told Us Weekly in a statement at the time of his indictment. “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community.” “He may have his flaws, but he is certainly not a criminal,” he went on to say. “I must commend Mr. Combs for being fully cooperative throughout this investigation; in fact, he chose to move to New York last week in preparation for these charges. I urge you to hold off on your judgments until all the facts are presented. His actions reflect those of an innocent individual who has nothing to conceal, and he is eager to vindicate himself in court.” View pictures in App save up to 80% data.

You know how I feel about that? It is about time. To see this video on TV of [Cassie] getting pummeled … it was just horrific. But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible.” Diddy is presently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn while he prepares for his upcoming trial later this year.

Getty Images Justin Baldoni sued Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds on Thursday, alleging that the Hollywood power couple hijacked his film, “It Ends With Us,” and sought to destroy him with false allegations of sexual harassment. In the 179-page complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York, Baldoni and his publicists accuse Lively and Reynolds of civil extortion, defamation and invasion of privacy. The suit seeks at least $400 million in damages. The legal action represents the most recent strike in the ongoing battle between the co-stars of "It Ends With Us," as both vie for dominance in shaping public perception. “At its core, this isn’t merely a situation of famous individuals trading barbs in the media,” claims Baldoni’s lawsuit. “This is a matter involving two of the globe's most influential stars using their considerable clout to seize an entire film from its rightful director and production team… When the Plaintiffs present their case in court, the jury will understand that no matter how powerful a celebrity may be, they cannot manipulate the truth to suit their desires.” Lively filed her own lawsuit against Baldoni, producer Jamey Heath and publicists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel on Dec. 31, 10 days after lodging her initial complaint against them with the California Civil Rights Department. Lively has alleged that Baldoni and several individuals conspired to execute a covert media smear campaign targeting her, as a form of retaliation for her allegations of sexual harassment during the filming. In her complaint, she cited numerous text messages from Baldoni's publicists, which indicated their intention to "bury" her reputation. In reaction, Baldoni initiated legal action against the New York Times — the publication that initially disclosed Lively's CRD complaint — claiming that the newspaper collaborated with Lively's team to misrepresent text messages and defame him. At that moment, his attorney, Bryan Freedman, assured that additional lawsuits were on the horizon. "This legal case arises from a substantial collection of unaltered evidence highlighting Blake Lively and her team's deceitful efforts to undermine Justin Baldoni, his associates, and their businesses by distributing heavily manipulated, unfounded, and fabricated information to the press," Freedman stated in a Thursday announcement. "Our readiness to present the entire set of text messages, emails, video recordings, and other documentation exchanged in real time between the involved parties clearly indicates that this is a fight she cannot prevail in and will undoubtedly come to regret." The most recent lawsuit echoes several arguments presented in the New York Times case, contending that the comprehensive evidence reveals Lively's suit to be a distorted representation of the facts. “Blake Lively was either grossly misinformed by her representatives or deliberately distorted the facts,” Freedman stated. “Ms. Lively will no longer be permitted to take advantage of genuine victims of harassment merely to boost her own image at the expense of the vulnerable. It’s important to remember that Ms. Lively and her associates tried to tarnish reputations and jeopardize livelihoods for shockingly self-serving motives through their reckless manipulation of the media, all before pursuing any legitimate legal recourse. The truth is out, and the public is aware of it now. Justin and his team have nothing to conceal; the evidence speaks for itself.”
