A Miami-area man filed a lawsuit accusing a Canadian heiress and her husband, a former reality TV personality, of borrowing $2 million and failing to repay it.
Named in the suit are Brendan Fitzpatrick, 38, who appeared on Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, and Chloe de Serigny, 31, the granddaughter of late financier Paul Desmarais, according to the Daily Mail.
In the federal complaint, Max Jan Fowles-Pazdro, 46, says Fitzpatrick convinced him in January 2025 to put up a $2 million bridge loan for a real estate project in the United Kingdom.
"Following repeated and increasingly desperate pleas from [Fitzpatrick] — [Fowles-Pazdro's] then-close friend — [Fowles-Pazdro] dug into his and his wife's life savings and funded a $2 million bridge loan that Brendan promised to begin repaying within six weeks," the filing stated, per the Daily Mail. "Two years have since elapsed — and not a penny of the loan has been repaid. With their nest egg gone, [Fowles-Pazdro] and his wife now teeter on financial ruin."
The suit also says the couple has continued to present an image of affluence, pointing to social media photos of them on a yacht in the Mediterranean.

Andrew Garfield has renewed his call to see a gay Spider-Man.
In an Entertainment Weekly interview, the star of The Uprising spoke about his resurfaced comments from 2013 calling for a queer spin on Peter Parker, when he famously asked, "Why can't he be gay? Why can't he be into boys?"
"It was an exercise in rebellion that I felt passionate about," Garfield doubled down in his latest chat with the outlet. "I just still believe that anyone can be in that suit."
Garfield's first comments on Peter Parker's ****** uality came in the lead-up to his film The Amazing Spider-Man 2 landing in cinemas.
He reportedly ran the idea by director Marc Webb at the time, suggesting Michael B Jordan for the role of MJ and opining, "He's so charismatic and talented."
While Garfield was - and is - keen on this idea, Marvel reportedly was not. A leaked document found on WikiLeaks and reported by Gawker revealed a list of "character integrity obligations" shared by Marvel with Sony.

It has been eight months since beloved Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were killed and their son Nick Reiner was arrested in their deaths.
But for Jake Reiner, the couple's 35-year-old son, the nightmare feels like "eight years at the same time, and it also feels like eight minutes," he told KABC-TV of Los Angeles in his first sit-down interview since the family tragedy.
"Every moment that I wake up, I'm reminded of my reality, and you're living through that every single day," he said.
Jake said he hasn't spoken to his brother. Nor has he attended any of his brother's court hearings, the station reported.
"He's in jail, so, you know, it's like I physically lost my parents and then Nick was arrested. And it's like now, it's just me and Romy," he said, referring to his 28-year-old sister.

Prince William is reportedly concerned about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to spend an extended period in the UK. The reported move has left William and Kate Middleton frustrated, with one source claiming the couple believes the Sussexes could eventually seek a larger role within the Royal Family.
PEOPLE reported that Harry and Meghan plan to return to Britain for an extended stay with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The development reportedly caught several members of the Royal Family off guard. King Charles is said to have learned about the decision only days before the news became public.
According to the report, Charles welcomes the opportunity to spend more time with Harry, Meghan and their children privately. However, his position reportedly remains clear: the Sussexes would continue their lives as non-working royals.
A source speaking to Woman's Day claimed William and Kate were "absolutely fuming" after reportedly being blindsided by the announcement. Palace insiders remain surprised by how Harry and Meghan plan to balance their commercial projects while living in Britain. For William, however, the bigger concern reportedly involves what the Sussexes might want from their return.
"William suspects Harry and Meghan actually do think they're going to be accepted back onto the Royal roster," the source claimed. "It may not happen overnight, but William's convinced this is their long game," the source said. Harry has continued to maintain connections with causes linked to his royal background, including humanitarian work and the Invictus Games.

Future plans surrounding the late Princess Diana's 30th death anniversary may reportedly put Meghan Markle's loyalty to her husband, Prince Harry, to a very difficult test. The report came amid speculation about whether the ***** ss of Sussex will join the Duke of Sussex during an alleged future trip to the UK to mark the important and quite emotional occasion.
The Sussex couple stepped down as working royals and left their royal lives in the UK behind to settle down in the US in 2020. Since then, the ***** ss of Sussex has made a few visits to Britain. She recently reunited with King Charles and Queen Camilla, alongside her husband and two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, at Highgrove House.

As reported by RadarOnline, a source said, "It is a hugely difficult decision for Meghan because there is no option without consequences."
The person continued that the ***** ss of Sussex "wants to support Harry during events that will be incredibly important and emotional for him." The source then explained, "But returning also means exposing herself to enormous scrutiny." The person also added, "And potentially walking straight back into unresolved family tensions."
In the meantime, per the news outlet, another insider explained, "Diana's anniversary makes everything particularly sensitive." The person continued that Prince Harry "would naturally want his wife beside him." The insider then said, "But if William and Catherine attend the same commemorations." The person continued, "The focus could quickly shift from Diana to the divisions within the family."

Demi Moore wore a strapless mint green micro minidress from Balenciaga for her daughter's wedding after-party. Designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli, the dress featured a scale-like woven texture and a straight-across, rimmed neckline on the boned bustier bodice. It cinched at the waist before flowing down into a tulip-shaped bubble miniskirt.
Deep box pleating around the waist gave the skirt its rounded, architectural volume, creating an hourglass silhouette. The strapless neckline highlighted her bare shoulders while the short skirt left her long legs on full display. The dress also had concealed pockets on both sides.

Miami authorities on Aug. 4 responded to the home of Perez Hilton after multiple reports alleged the podcaster was seen harming himself on a TikTok livestream.
A disturbing but unverified video circulating online appears to show the celebrity blogger, 48, nude and covered in what seems to be blood while exhibiting signs of distress and holding a sharp item.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office confirmed that authorities responded to several calls about a person who was live streaming acts of self-harm on social media. Deputies arrived at Hilton's home and spoke to family members on scene to confirm he was alone inside, police said Aug 4.
Law enforcement authorities have tactically disengaged at this time "while continuing to monitor the situation and providing the needed support to his family," the sheriff's office told USA TODAY.
"In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize de-escalation by creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication," the sheriff's statement reads.

The actor confessed he ran into money troubles after playing the role of Samwise Gamgee.

"There was a disconnect between the attention that I was getting and how much money we had," the actor recalled. "It was not a lot of money!"
