Ray Fisher became internationally recognizable as the technologically enhanced superhero Cyborg, but his career began far from the world of comic book blockbusters. The American actor developed his craft through theater before making the leap to major Hollywood productions. His upbringing, particularly the influence of his mother and grandmother, helped shape the values he later carried into his professional life. When Fisher encountered difficulties behind the scenes of Justice League, he chose to speak publicly about his experience. That decision became an important part of a career increasingly ****** ociated with both performance and workplace accountability.
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Fisher grew up in Lawnside, New Jersey, in a large family raised primarily by his mother and grandmother. He has described both women as his real life superheroes, praising the determination and strength they demonstrated while he was growing up. His interest in acting became serious during high school, when encouragement from a teacher led him to audition for theatrical productions.
Fisher continued developing as a stage performer and eventually established himself in professional theater. One of his most demanding early roles was Muhammad Ali in the Off Broadway production Fetch Clay, Make Man. Preparing to portray the legendary boxer required substantial physical transformation as well as the ability to capture Ali's confidence and personality. The experience demonstrated the discipline Fisher could bring to a role before Hollywood audiences became familiar with him.
His major screen opportunity arrived when Zack Snyder selected him to play Victor Stone, better known as Cyborg, in the DC film universe. Fisher made a brief appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before receiving a much larger role in Justice League. Production changed significantly after Snyder left the project and Joss Whedon took over during post production. The theatrical version released in 2017 reduced much of Cyborg's original storyline.
In 2020, Fisher publicly accused Whedon of inappropriate and unprofessional behavior during the Justice League reshoots. WarnerMedia subsequently conducted an investigation after Fisher raised concerns involving the production. In December 2020, the company announced that the investigation had concluded and that remedial action had been taken, without publicly detailing what those measures involved.

Trigger Warning: ***** ual ***** ault
Diddy secured a significant legal victory in his defamation case against lawyer Ariel Mitchell and her client Courtney Burgess. Burgess made explosive claims about the music mogul, alleging that he had videos showing Diddy ***** ually ***** aulting minors and celebrities.
Mitchell asked the court to dismiss Diddy's lawsuit, but US District Judge John Cronan has declined to do so. The court ruled that her arguments were not strong enough to warrant ending the case. In a September 4 order, the judge stated that claims alleging Diddy ***** ually ***** aulted people and secretly recorded ***** ual partners have "precise meanings that are readily understood," reports TMZ.
Diddy filed the defamation lawsuit on January 22, 2025. The case was brought in a New York federal court and initially sought $50 million in damages. Later, the amount was increased to $100 million. The lawsuit also named NewsNation's parent company, Nexstar Media. Diddy accused them of promoting "outlandish claims" and "baseless speculation." He claimed the statements were designed to satisfy the public's desire for "wild lies."
Mitchell previously spoke to the outlet about the matter, saying, "This is just a pathetic ploy to silence victims and people who stand up for victims. Diddy has time to sue but refuses to accept service for the lawsuits already filed against him. I look forward to countersuing and ensuring the court punishes not only Diddy but also his lawyers who filed this pathetic lawsuit for this frivolous and meritless filing."
Combs is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence after facing charges of ***** trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. A court hearing to determine the next steps in the case is scheduled for September 17.

Regan Hutsell was crowned Miss America on Sept. 6
Speaking with PEOPLE, the new queen shares that she hopes to inspire other women to pursue their dreams and promote diversity on a national stage
Hutsell also shares what legacy she wants her reign to leave as she steps into the next year of responsibilities
Miss America 2027 Regan Hutsell hopes her recent win will inspire young girls across the nation.
Hutsell was crowned on Sept. 6, making her the first Miss America to wear her natural hair while being crowned. Last week, just days before she was crowned the 99th Miss America, the then-Miss Texas **** leholder told PEOPLE about a question she had been asked during preliminary competition rounds about wearing her natural hair as a pageant contestant.
"When I first started [competing], I didn't know what I was going to do with my hair," said Hutsell. "I didn't know if I was going to straighten it, I didn't know if I was going to wear it natural. I had straightened my hair a few years ago, and it didn't bounce back. And coming to this point in my life where I decided, no, I'm going to wear it curly; I'm going to wear it as is.
Wearing her natural hair while competing throughout her pageant career had helped Hutsell redefine what beauty meant for her.

During the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, Michael Strahan was a defensive end for the New York Giants
The athlete-turned-broadcast host is a narrator of 9/11: United We Stand — 25 Years Later, a documentary that looks back on the tragedy and two and a half decades of healing
Strahan forged a close friendship with Pete Davidson, whose father died in the line of duty while helping evacuate people from the Twin Towers
When two planes flew into New York City's Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, Michael Strahan was at his home in Montclair, N.J., having gotten in late the night before from Denver after a Monday Night Football game. He was trying to catch some sleep that morning when he got a call telling him to look out of his window, where he had an enviable view of the New York City skyline.
That day, he tells PEOPLE, "the skyline changed forever."

Amber Uhler spent years transforming her own life after a health wake-up call. Now, she is stepping onto the Miss USA stage to show that a crown can represent much more than a competition.
For years, pageants have often been reduced to a familiar image: the evening gown, the crown, the final question, and the winner's wave. But contestants like Amber Uhler show that the most meaningful parts of a pageant journey often happen long before the stage lights come on.
At 41, the Miss Michigan USA 2026 ***** leholder is the oldest contestant competing in this year's Miss USA field. She also brings a personal transformation story, telling PEOPLE that she once weighed nearly 300 pounds and later lost 170 pounds through diet and exercise.
But Uhler's journey is not defined by a number on a scale alone. Her path to the competition has included previous pageant victories, a major life change, and advocacy work focused on swim safety and childhood drowning prevention.
She is not simply competing for a ***** le. She brings years of experience, personal growth, and a story that reflects how pageants keep evolving.

Kate Beckinsale has wiped her Instagram feed clean after a difficult stretch online. The actress returned to Stories with a pointed response to the commentary surrounding her appearance. Her message went beyond one rude remark. Beckinsale explained why the speculation has become especially painful and signaled that her future on the platform may look very different.
People reported on Aug. 8 that Beckinsale deleted all posts from her Instagram grid before sharing a series of Stories highlighting body-shaming comments she had received. She responded to one particularly harsh message by writing, "I think people might be broken."
The actress also addressed the speculation surrounding her weight loss. Beckinsale said grief has taken a physical toll after the death of her mother, Judy Loe, in 2025 and her stepfather, Roy Battersby, in 2024. She said losing several family members in a short period had affected her body and pushed back against strangers making ****** umptions about her health.
Beckinsale also discussed mast cell activation syndrome, or MCAS, saying she was diagnosed 16 years ago. She explained that the condition can affect her stomach and that flare-ups can bring severe acid reflux. Cleveland Clinic describes MCAS as a rare condition involving repeated episodes caused by overactive mast cells.
The Underworld star said she initially hoped speaking publicly about MCAS could help raise awareness. But after receiving more criticism about her voice and appearance, she expressed regret over making the video.

Ariana Grande reportedly shocked theatre bosses after suddenly leaving a major West End production. Her exit reportedly caused significant disruption behind the scenes. The singer was expected to star alongside her Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey.
Grande was set to star alongside Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey in Sunday in the Park With George at London's Barbican, with her casting reportedly viewed as a major coup. However, she later withdrew from the production.
According to the Daily Mail, producers were informed of Grande's decision less than an hour before her team made the announcement public, reportedly leaving the Barbican to quickly respond. A source connected to the production described the last-minute development as "mind-bending," reflecting the disruption caused behind the scenes.
The source claimed the production had already attracted attention because of the scrutiny surrounding Grande, even before rehearsals, which were scheduled to begin in 2027. The production reportedly had promotional plans already prepared, including planned magazine covers.
Grande's representative said she would "be taking a step back from visibility." The announcement followed her completion of the Eternal Sunshine Tour. Her team cited "endless, ongoing public scrutiny" surrounding the singer.

Olivia Rodrigo stepped out in a micro minidress from Gimaguas held up by just two strings, making a striking fashion statement. The "drivers license" hitmaker is known for blending chic style with glamorous vibes. This time, she opted for a look that perfectly combined modern allure with laid-back fashion, making heads turn.
Olivia Rodrigo turned heads in a striking micro minidress by Gimaguas, held up by just two delicate strings. The singer-songwriter shared the look in a vibrant photo dump capturing a fun outing with friends. With this bold fit, Rodrigo continues to prove she is the ultimate queen of effortless fashion.
The photos perfectly resonate with her signature aesthetic: relaxed, laid-back fashion that never compromises on glamor. For the occasion, she turned to the Spanish label Gimaguas. Founded by twin sisters Claudia and Sayana Durany, the brand is celebrated for its clean silhouettes and craft-inspired designs — both of which were reflected in Rodrigo's dress.
The dress featured two thin straps and a deep neckline for a bold touch. The upper bodice was a sleek black colour, which then flared into a pink skirt with a pleated design. The dress had a flowing design that lent it a soft and feminine vibe, while the deep back further elevated its daring appeal.
In one of the photos, she paired the look with black sunglasses while posing for the camera. Rodrigo kept her makeup and hair as understated as possible, wearing her hair down with a soft pink lip shade that perfectly complemented the outfit.

For years, Julie LaPlaca helped produce The Bachelor's biggest love stories. Then she found herself at the center of one.
When Peter Weber led ABC's dating show in 2020, Bachelor Nation became fixated on rumors that the pilot had developed a relationship with a producer on the show while searching for love. Internet sleuths zeroed in on LaPlaca, fueling years of speculation about what really happened between them.
In her new memoir, The Love Producer, out now, LaPlaca confirms that her friendship with Weber — who proposed to winner Hannah Ann Sluss at the end of his season before moving on with contestant Kelley Flanagan — turned romantic and that the two eventually hooked up. LaPlaca writes about spending years wondering what could have been — and how letting go of those "what-ifs" became crucial to moving on.
After excerpts from the memoir surfaced, Weber pushed back on parts of LaPlaca's account. Following the book's release, he told TMZ that he'd repeatedly asked LaPlaca not to include him or details of their off-camera relationship in the memoir, adding that he hopes she "finds the love that we all deserve."
But while readers may come for the gossip, as longtime Bachelor Nation host Chris Harrison writes in the book's foreword, they'll likely stay for something deeper: the story of a woman who spent years helping other people find love without finding her own happy ending.
