Jared Leto has been accused of criminal **** ual conduct by multiple women in a bombshell documentary.
The Oscar-winning actor and Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman has been accused of **** ual **** ault, threatening **** ual **** ault, having **** with a minor and making **** ually explicit phone calls in the new BBC documentary Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret.
In the documentary, which airs in the U.K. on Wednesday, one woman alleged that she was **** ually **** aulted by the 54-year-old in 2002, when she was 17 and he was in his 30s.
The woman, going by the pseudonym Isabel, claimed that Leto called her into the bathroom of a "gross motel" while he was showering, "opened the shower curtain and started kissing" her before allegedly grabbing her hand and using it to **** himself.
Another woman claimed she was left alone with the Suicide Squad star in a hotel room when she was 19 and he threatened her with **** ual **** ault.
A third alleged that she had **** with Leto at his home in California when she was 17 and he was 34, and he "shrugged off" a conversation about the state's age of consent being 18. She visited his house two or three more times.

Sharon Stone has recalled how she felt "pretty sick" after quitting marijuana.
The Basic Instinct actress suffered a near-fatal subarachnoid haemorrhage in September 2001, with her taking around seven years to fully recover.
In an interview for Variety published on Monday, Stone recounted how she decided to stop taking one of the stroke medications last September against medical advice.
"They said, 'You can't go off of it. You can never go off of it.' I'm like, 'I'm going off it,' and it was like going off of f**king heroin," she declared. "I was sick as a frigging dog for four and a half months. I just thought, 'I want my life back.' I had gotten off the majority of the drugs over the years that they had put me on. But I was like, 'I want a drug-free life.'"
In addition, Stone revealed that she had made a vow to give up smoking weed too.
"Once I got off that, I decided I'm going to quit smoking pot. And because I think they put so much stuff in it now - they really do - when I stopped smoking pot, I also got sick," the 68-year-old continued. "It's not like you're pulling it out of the ground anymore. It's not like when we were kids. I got pretty sick for a month."

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift reportedly broke into tears as they exchanged their wedding vows. The couple tied the knot on July 3, marking a new chapter in one of the most talked-about love stories. The wedding ceremony was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Insiders shared details from the ceremony, claiming that the couple wrote their own vows and became emotional while reading them.
An insider reportedly claimed that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got intensely emotional as they read their wedding vows. The wedding was no less than a fairytale, guests reportedly said, describing everything as a "pinch me moment."
A report by TODAY suggests that the couple's representatives made a statement to NBC News, saying that the wedding was officiated by Adam Sandler. Plus, Austin Swift, the pop icon's brother, was the "Man of Honor." Meanwhile, the best man was Jason Kelce.
Insiders described that when guests entered the venue, they walked through a tunnel featuring various childhood and relationship photos of the singer and the NFL star. They were then taken into a beautiful **** e, which the guests described as a "secret garden."
While the ambiance was beautiful, insiders claimed that the wedding vows were equally emotional. Sources said that the couple wrote their own vows. Meanwhile, the "Opalite" singer's vows reportedly also featured some singing. As they exchanged their vows, they reportedly became very emotional. In fact, their speeches also moved the guests and made them teary-eyed. Another report by PEOPLE suggested that guests were provided with embroidered handkerchiefs for the emotional moments.

Sandler hosted, Trump roasted.

The White House went into overdrive on Taylor Swift Friday, posting a meme appropriating the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce wedding at Madison Square Garden.

In an Instagram post Friday evening, the White House parodied the Garden's purple digital billboard of Swift and Kelce's "JUST&T Married" by replacing it with the message "Trump Is Your President," alongside similar text of "It's happened!" which makes sense only if you think about it for fewer than two seconds.

The post follows one from Thursday night in which a collage of all-American images like Iwo Jima and the Miracle on Ice are dominated by an image of Trump, beneath the caption of "America's Eras Tour," parodying Swift's poster for the 2023 concert behemoth; it even included Taylor's "It's a long time coming line" from that barnstorm.

The specter of a wedding on a national holiday seemed to especially rankle a Swift-sensitive White House: The White House also posted two videos to X montage-ing moments in American history by repurposing Swift; one proclaimed "Next in America's Eras Tour" while another touted "America's greatest hits, one era at a time."

Compared to some of the other celebrity tolls Trump has engaged in — just this week he posted an AI video as a doctor treating Julia Roberts and Robert De Niro for "Trump Derangement Syndrome" — this proved to be pretty tame and even had an air of grudging blessing. There's a reason for that.

Running against liberal movie stars is a risk-free bet for the president and an easy score with his base. Going after Swift, however, requires more of a shadowbox for Trump, who knows that plenty of people in swing states where he is backing candidates look up to her and her liberal views, and that a war with her could turn out a vote against him. That's one reason he has said he wished the couple well (but also predicted they would not last).

The choice of July 4 weekend, with icons performing on a grand platform, also, whether intentionally or not, upstages Trump, who wanted something similar for himself with a Freedom 250 concert but saw even musicians like Martina McBride and Bret Michaels — hardly progressive firebrands — drop out because they didn't want to be **** ociated with the partisan celebration.

Meanwhile, Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney take the stage, or plan to, with the country's biggest pop star at the wedding Friday night. And in front of a who's-who of liberal entertainers, in what will be the world's first pop concert to feature a wedding **** ouncement from Billy Madison.

Swift seems to have an unusual ability to get to Trump, free rent, living in his mind. After Trump in 2024 posted a deepfake of Swift endorsing him over Kamala Harris, she clarified she didn't, prompting him to post: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!"

While she's been largely quiet this term, Swift did step out strongly against Trump during the height of BLM protests in 2020, accusing him of "stoking the fires of

Millie Bobby Brown is turning heads with her bold summer fashion choices. The young superstar recently modeled a stunning sheer gown with a thigh-high slit and a cutout while posing on a scenic rooftop in New York City. Known for her effortless charm and trend-setting style, she completely stole the spotlight during a sunny golden-hour event. Her latest look perfectly captures a vibrant, tropical paradise aesthetic that has everyone talking on social media.
Millie Bobby Brown wore an eye-catching gown, and the absolute focal point of the look was its daring design. The star rocked the custom "Dalia" two-tone, draped chiffon gown from the fashion brand Siedres. As clearly displayed in the social media post, this unique dress features a soft peach halter-neck top. This upper portion wraps elegantly around her neck, tying into a large, dramatic bow over her left shoulder.
Furthermore, the flowing top sweeps diagonally across her torso, creating a massive asymmetric cutout that exposes her waist. The garment then transitions into a sheer, sage-green maxi skirt adorned with a delicate floral pattern. The wrap-style skirt knots loosely at her left hip with long, trailing fabric ties. Consequently, this draped detail forms a dramatic, thigh-high slit that showcases her toned legs beautifully.
To complete the tropical look, she accessorized minimally with simple gold hoop earrings. She kept her beauty look radiant and fresh for the city rooftop backdrop. Brown wore her hair pinned up into a casual, textured updo with a few loose strands framing her face. Meanwhile, her glam featured glowing skin, a soft nude lip, and neutral makeup. While showing off a colorful beauty product from her Florence by Mills line, she perfectly matched the playful, pineapple-themed aesthetic of the entire event.

Steven Olikara
There is an industry that profits every time you come to hate your neighbor a little more. Steven Olikara calls it the "division industrial complex" — "a collection of algorithms, polarized media, and hyper-partisan political operatives that make money on making us hate each other all the time." It is a multibillion-dollar machine, he argues, mirroring the military-industrial complex it rhymes with, and it has convinced most of us that the people on the other side want to destroy everything we hold dear. The strangest part, he says, is that it's mostly a lie. "We end up having a lot more in common than we realize. Just our discourse doesn't reflect that."
Olikara's response was to go where the lie is manufactured. He runs Bridge Entertainment Labs, what he describes as the first Hollywood office built to combat toxic polarization and grow a culture of pluralism in America. It advises filmmakers and studios from Disney to Paramount on how to tell stories that make Americans see each other as human again. He came to it the long way: a decade in politics, and before that, a kid at a piano in a segregated city, learning that the people who aren't supposed to share a room can still build something together.
That kid grew up in Milwaukee, one of the most racially and socioeconomically segregated metros in the country, a place where, as he puts it, "not a lot of people looked like me or shared my background." Music was his way across. What he loved most was when his bands would draw and infuse different influences across genres and cultures — the collision that made the art, in his words, "so much more dynamic, exciting, and creative." Jazz in particular taught him how. "You have to listen before you can play," his instructor used to say — a discipline of presence and call-and-response he came to see as a model for how a fractured country might talk to itself. In the right kind of creative, open and dignified **** es, he says, people "can add up to something that's larger than the sum of our parts" — not a least common denominator, but "something totally new and evolutionary together."
Olikara spent that decade chasing the idea into politics, founding Future Caucus, now the largest movement of young elected officials working across partisan lines on issues from gun violence prevention to criminal justice reform. The wins were real. But he kept circling a harder problem. Passing reforms in statehouses was one thing; convincing the friends he grew up with that a better discourse was even possible was another. "That's hard to believe if you're not seeing it in our media, you're not seeing it in the stories we tell," he says. The question that followed reframed his whole mission: for the people with media platforms, "which stories do we choose to tell and which ones do you choose to ignore?" That question launched the Bridge Entertainment Labs chapter. As the country approaches its 250th year, he frames the stakes in one line: "Can we cre

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's reported wedding celebration has been surrounded by secrecy for weeks, but a new report says one part of the privacy plan may be less forceful than earlier headlines suggested.
TMZ reported that the electronic non-disclosure agreement sent to guests does not include an obvious monetary penalty if someone leaks details.
The outlet also reported that the agreement does not include a film release, making a wedding documentary or streaming special appear unlikely.
The report adds a new wrinkle to the secrecy around the July 3 event, which has been widely reported but not publicly confirmed by Swift or Kelce's representatives.
The new detail changes the way earlier reports about an "ironclad" NDA read. Guests may still be asked not to share private information, but TMZ reported that the document does not include a monetary penalty or another obvious punishment if someone violates the agreement.

Last week, news broke that Amy Griffin, author of the 2025 New York Times bestselling memoir "The Tell," had filed a lawsuit against the anonymous former classmate who, last March, sued Griffin, alleging that several of the anecdotes in the book — which details a horrific experience of childhood rape and ****** ual abuse — were not Griffin's, but her own. Griffin's countersuit claims that the classmate's lawsuit characterizes her as "a fraud and a thief." This isn't the kind of delicious, schadenfreude-dipped publishing-world drama about a bad art friend that other writers love to deconstruct in group texts. It's a dispiriting legal battle in which two women who likely suffered profound ****** ual trauma are publicly battling, one with a focus on preserving both her reputation and her business interests, and the other with almost nothing on her side, including, thanks to Griffin's countersuit, anonymity.
"The Tell" is about a woman who is by every possible measure successful, trying to understand what unseen force is holding her apart from an otherwise beautiful life — impacting her marriage, alienating her children and causing panic attacks. On the encouragement of her equally successful, equally blessed husband, Griffin agrees to try therapeutic MDMA. A former star student and long-distance runner from a prominent family in Amarillo, Texas, Griffin goes into her first session with a competitor's single-minded determination to, as she writes, "get to the finish line."
It takes almost no time for the drug to unearth memories of habitual ****** ual abuse by a teacher at her middle school that began when Griffin was 12 and continued until she was 16. Her confidence in the memories she recovers ("My body knew what had happened to me. The way I'd shake when I'd tell my story; the way my eyes welled up with tears at the mention of Texas") sets her on a relentless trajectory of seeking legal and emotional redress.

I listened to "The Tell" on audiobook knowing very little about it. I didn't know that Griffin is married to a billionaire former hedge-fund founder, or that she's on the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Board of Trustees, or that her own venture-capital firm, G9, has made her a billionaire in her own right. I didn't see the seals of approval from America's trio of book-club heavies — Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and Jenna Bush Hager — on its cover. I didn't read the glowing blurbs for a first-time author from Gwyneth Paltrow, Gloria Steinem, Chanel Miller and Mariska Hargitay. I didn't know that the book wasn't written so much as it was built by a prominent ghostwriter, a cadre of well-placed friends and colleagues, and a publishing industry that's made billions of dollars from trauma memoirs by women.

Michael Caine has "narrated" a new audiobook using an AI clone of his voice.
The Oscar-winning actor licensed his distinctive voice to an AI audio company, which is now publishing a new audiobook of Homer's ancient Greek epic, The Odyssey.
"The Odyssey is one of the greatest stories ever told," Michael, 93, said in a statement.
"For nearly three millennia, its themes of perseverance, loyalty, temptation, and the enduring call of home have resonated across cultures and generations."
A 13-hour "cinematic" production, the audiobook features a "full cast" of AI-powered voices, alongside a musical score and elaborate sound effects.
Despite its complex nature, the project reportedly took only six weeks from the start of production to its completion.

Fresh tensions have surfaced within the Beckham family after claims that Harper Beckham's recent visit to her brother Brooklyn Beckham's home was a publicity stunt. The allegations sparked a swift response from sources close to the family. The latter strongly rejected suggestions that the encounter was planned for cameras.
Harper Beckham was in the United States to support her father, David Beckham, who received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She reportedly arrived at Brooklyn Beckham's Beverly Hills home in an SUV. Reports later claimed the 14-year-old arrived "unannounced" and left shortly afterwards without seeing her older brother. The brief visit immediately became a talking point, particularly given the strained relationship between Brooklyn and his famous parents.
A representative for Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham said, "That photographers were in place as the letter was hand-delivered says it all – this was choreographed for the cameras." However, a family source rejected the allegation, calling it "clearly nonsense."
People close to David and Victoria Beckham strongly disputed those claims. According to family insiders, suggestions that the visit had been choreographed were completely "untrue" and "unfair." The response marked the latest public disagreement connected to the family's highly publicized fallout, which has dominated headlines for months.
Shortly after the controversy emerged, David and Victoria headed to dinner at ****** u Malibu. Their son, Romeo, and his girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, also joined the outing. Observers noted that the family appeared serious as they arrived at the restaurant. However, they continued to present a united front despite the ongoing tensions surrounding Brooklyn.

Hulk Hogan's official cause of death has been revealed in a new police report.
The wrestler died last July at the age of 71, after paramedics responded to a "cardiac arrest" call from his Florida home.
Now, following an investigation by Florida's Clearwater Police Department, a 72-page police report indicates Hulk - whose real name was Terry Bollea - died of natural causes.
"There has been no evidence to indicate the death of Terry Bollea was anything other than natural," the report stated.
"Through the course of the investigation, there has been no evidence to indicate any criminal wrongdoing related to his death. This case will be closed, and will be considered solved, non-criminal."
In the wake of his death, Hulk's daughter Brooke Hogan, 38, posted a lengthy statement to her social media claiming she had been contacted by "professionals" such as doctors and nurses who had allegedly been with her father the day he died, urging her to have his death investigated.
