Brandi Glanville's health battle sparked an unexpected Bravo reunion, with Housewives stepping up financially. Several former co-stars donated to her GoFundMe after years of unexplained medical problems.
The fundraiser aimed to cover treatment costs linked to multiple diagnoses affecting Glanville. She admitted asking for help felt humiliating, but her medical expenses had pushed her toward crowdfunding.
TMZ reported that Glanville's GoFundMe had raised about $7,000 toward its $28,000 goal. Kyle Richards contributed $500, while Claudia Jordan and longtime friend James Maas each donated $100. Camille Grammer, who starred alongside Glanville on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, gave $200. She also explained why she decided to contribute despite their complicated history.
"I remember when she sent me flowers when I had my hysterectomy for uterine cancer," Grammer told TMZ. "I wanted to return the favor, and I feel bad for what she's going through." The pair had clashed during Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco. Grammer acknowledged they were not particularly close, yet she still wanted to help.
Gina Rodriguez, another longtime friend, created the fundraiser earlier that week. She said doctors had discovered a fungal ball in Glanville's face that required removal. Glanville later discussed the fundraiser through her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast. She broke down while describing the financial pressure surrounding her treatment.

Princess Diana's iconic "revenge dress" could fetch $300,000 at auction.
The iconic Christina Stambolian dress will be sold this December during Sotheby's Luxury Week with an estimate of $150,000–$300,000.
The dress will be offered at auction for the first time since June 1997, when the late princess sold 79 of her dresses at auction to raise funds to benefit cancer and AIDS charities.
A rare copy of the original catalog, numbered and signed by the princess and the designer of the dress, crediting Prince William with the idea of the sale will be sold with the dress. Part of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to NHS Lothian Charity on behalf of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.

More than ever before, college sports are a business for everyone involved.
That money has to come from somewhere, and many schools are finding creative ways to get it. Here are some of the corporate sponsorships funding NIL and other expenses around the Big 12.
In July, Texas Tech announced a 15-year agreement with Galaxy, a data center infrastructure company, to rename Jones AT&T Stadium to Galaxy Stadium.
The former name honored the school's third president, Clifford B. Jones, who donated $100,000 to help fund the construction of the stadium in 1947.
"It goes without saying college athletics continues to evolve," Texas Tech AD Kirby Hocutt told Sports Business Journal. "I look at that as a very exciting opportunity and challenge to reinvent athletic administration, college athletics and how we continue to build toward a commercial media type of organization."

John Travolta and Priscilla Presley were spotted spending time together months after a court filing made wild claims about just how close their famous families might be connected.
The Grease star, 72, and Priscilla, 81, were photographed chatting at the Ramones 50th Anniversary Tribute at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles on Sunday, August 30.
The two appeared to be lost in conversation as they mingled at the event, which was also attended by Travis Barker, Billy Idol, Fred Armisen and more.
Their reunion came months after legal documents claimed Priscilla's granddaughter Riley Keough donated the egg used by Travolta's late wife, Kelly Preston, to conceive their son Ben.

Dustin Folkes, a former Marine turned bodyguard, has worked for celebrities like Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian and Conor McGregor, to name a few
Folkes launched VYZN Apparel, a performance clothing brand inspired by his work and lifestyle as a bodyguard
The brand donates one item to veterans experiencing homelessness for every purchase, with nearly 1,000 items donated so far
When most people think of celebrity bodyguards, they envision seven-foot men in all-black who often stick out in the crowd.
However, Dustin Folkes, a former Marine, has mastered the art of being low-key while still on high alert. His ability to blend in and not attract attention has made him a go-to personal security guard for dozens of high-profile celebrities over the last 20 years, with clients like Justin Bieber, Shaun White, Selena Gomez, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum, Jon Bon Jovi, George Strait and Eric Church, to name a few.

Taylor Swift has quietly stepped in to support a Connecticut mother facing a lengthy recovery after she was struck by a car while helping teenagers involved in a highway crash. The 36-year-old singer donated $50,000 to a GoFundMe created for Ashley Taunton, a certified nursing ***** istant, wife, and mother of three. The donation came as Taunton continues recovering from several life-threatening injuries she sustained while pushing a teenager out of the path of an oncoming vehicle.
ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA
Swift's sizable contribution appeared on the family's crowdfunding page, along with a message wishing Taunton and her loved ones well. TMZ first reported the donation, and PEOPLE later confirmed it.
Taunton was driving along I-95 South in Rhode Island with her youngest daughter in July when she noticed a crash ahead. Rather than drive past, she stopped to offer ***** istance. "When I see there's somebody in trouble, I tend to want to go help," Taunton told PEOPLE.
She parked about 30 yards from the crash and told her daughter to stay in the vehicle while she called Taunton's husband. Taunton then approached the stranded car, where she found a teenage driver and two other young passengers. According to the mother, the teenagers were "a little bit banged up, but seemed relatively okay."

Taylor Swift has donated $50,000 to a GoFundMe supporting Ashley Taunton, a Connecticut mother of three who suffered life-threatening injuries while helping strangers after a car accident in Rhode Island.
Taunton, 42, a certified nursing ***** istant, was driving south on I-95 in July with her youngest daughter when she came upon a group of teenagers whose vehicle had hydroplaned in a rainstorm. She stopped to help move them to safety. While ***** isting, another car hydroplaned toward the group; Taunton pushed one of the teens out of the way and was struck herself, absorbing the impact. She has since undergone two major surgeries, with more scheduled, and her family says recovery could take up to a year.

Dolly Parton, known for her timeless hits, sparkling personality, razor-sharp wit and iconic image, was also a deeply committed philanthropist.
In fact, she donated so much of her money in her lifetime that some estimate she would have become a billionaire without her charitable giving.
The Grammy winner, after all, held the rights to wildly successful songs, a theme park and book **** les under her illustrious name.
"I try to leave my heart open, and my ears and my eyes," she told Consequence of Sound in 2023.
Her donations across the decades amount to countless millions. Since her death, her family has written: "In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library".

York reportedly tried to solicit prostitution for $140.

Ricky Schroder is giving people the "ick" with his tribute to late co-star Dolly Parton.
The NYPD Blue alum, 56, and legendary country singer appeared in Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors in 2025, as well as its 2026 sequel, Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love. He played a version of her father in both TV movies.
Taking to social media on Tuesday, August 25 — following Parton's death at the age of 80 — Schroder shared a post honoring the icon. Alongside a photo of them together, he wrote, "I didnt agree with her advocating for Transgender & Covid Vaccine support…but Loved her anyway. Thank you for choosing me Dolly to be your Movie Daddy."
Parton was a vocal supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community, speaking out against North Carolina's anti-trans bathroom bill in 2016 by telling CNN, "I think everybody should be treated with respect. I hope that everybody gets a chance to be who and what they are."
The singer also donated $1 million to vaccine research amid the Covid pandemic. After helping to fund the Moderna vaccine, she filmed herself receiving it as well, sharing the footage to social media.

A new study from researchers at Mass General Brigham, Boston University, and the Concussion & CTE Foundation found that at least one in four former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021 had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head trauma.
The findings, published Tuesday in The British Medical Journal, examined former NFL players from the hard-shell helmet era and suggest the prevalence of CTE among professional football players is significantly higher than in the general population.
Researchers identified 878 former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021. Of those, 235 donated their brains for study, and 215 of the donated brains, or 91.4%, showed evidence of CTE.
Because CTE can only be diagnosed after death through brain tissue examination, researchers estimated a range for how widespread the disease may have been among all deceased former players. Their most conservative estimate found at least 24.5% of former NFL players who died during that period had CTE. The upper estimate reached 97.7%, though researchers said both extremes are unlikely and the true prevalence is likely somewhere in between.
"Community brain bank studies have shown that CTE affects less than 1% of the general population," said Dr. Daniel Daneshvar, lead author of the study and chair of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Mass General Brigham. "To find that somewhere between 24.5% and 97.7% of NFL players from that time period had this progressive brain disease is a wake-up call for the NFL and scientific communities."

AnnaLynne McCord has married Danny Cipriani after the couple publicly asked fans to help fund their wedding. The 90210 alum shared the news in an Instagram Reel on Sunday. McCord said she married "the love of my life" the day before. She also called the wedding a blessing.
McCord and Cipriani launched a Honeyfund page last month to raise money for their wedding. The couple asked fans to give any amount toward their dream wedding and honeymoon. They quoted $100 for the marriage license, $1,000 for the rehearsal dinner and $1,200 for the flowers. The registry also allowed donations from $10 to $5,000.
The couple had raised $14,200 by Friday, according to The U.S. Sun. McCord told the outlet that she received "death threats" after launching the page. Some people called her "despicable," and she said others accused her of trying to get money from wedding guests. She also said some people donated $10 just to leave negative messages.
McCord confirmed her marriage in her Instagram video and called it "incredibly timeless." She praised every part of the event, from the rituals to the moments she shared with Cipriani. "Happy first day being AnnaLynne Cipriani to me," she said. The couple reportedly plans to hold two more wedding ceremonies in London and Cambodia.
After a long and on-and-off dating relationship, Cipriani proposed to McCord on Christmas Day 2025. The couple met on Raya, the celebrity dating app, and dated for years until 2020 when they parted ways. They reunited in 2024, and Cipriani shared their romance on Instagram in April. He called McCord his "Miracle" and wrote, "Loving you is the easiest thing in the world."

A Reddit post asked users to name "a horrible thing that a famous person did that everyone forgot about" and has drawn a long list of controversial celebrity and political stories.
The r/AskReddit post had more than 2,100 upvotes as of publication. Some of the most popular responses were allegations or events that have been documented in news reports, court records, or autobiographies. At the same time, several commenters also repeated claims that could use more context.
One of the top comments brought up comedian George Lopez and said he cheated on his wife after she donated a kidney to him. Lopez's ex-wife, Ann Serrano, donated a kidney to him in 2005 after he was diagnosed with a genetic condition. Later in 2010, the couple announced that they were ending their 17-year marriage, and Serrano filed for divorce in 2012. The official cause, however, was irreconcilable differences.
ABC News reporting on the divorce did not support the claim that adultery was the cause of their split.
Another highly upvoted comment was in reference to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Reddit users claimed he filed divorce papers against his first wife while she was recovering from cancer surgery. FactCheck.org, on the other hand, reported that Gingrich and Jackie Battley were already separated and in divorce proceedings when she was hospitalized in 1980. Battley had undergone cancer surgery earlier and was recovering from surgery to remove another tumor. Gingrich has also said that the two argued during the hospital visit.

Detroit — Red Hawaiian shirts took over Comerica Park on Sunday with over 900 people traveling across the world for the 17th annual "Magnum P.I." Day.
Known as the "Magnums," the group partnered with the Brain Injury **** ociation of Michigan in 2025, and a portion of Tigers game tickets bought through their group link are donated to help the **** ociation.
"I get emotional talking about it," said Aaron Klassen, the primary organizer for the event. "Who knew what started as just a bunch of hooligans having fun would turn into something of this caliber to be able to make such an incredible impact and give back to the community."
Founded by Shana Smail, Shaun Smail and Kevin Stephenson in 2009, the first event was minuscule compared to now, with only about 12 people in attendance and any color Hawaiian shirt worn. The group is inspired by the 1980s show "Magnum P.I.," and fans are dressed like Detroit native Tom Selleck, who stars in the show as Thomas Magnum.
Nowadays, they have thousands of members in a Facebook group and had fans, workers, and even PAWS, the Tigers' mascot, dressed in the signature Magnum look: an Aloha "Jungle Bird" shirt, sunglasses, real or fake mustaches, and a Tigers hat to top off the outfit.

An award-winning Hollywood director's gift to a Los Angeles-area park apparently has one fatal flaw that park officials overlooked: under sunny California weather, it can literally burn you.
Last year, Ron Howard and his wife donated a Victorian-style love seat statue to Johnny Carson Park in Burbank. The "kissing chair" consists of two seats facing the opposite direction melded together and is worth $88,440, according to the city.
Ron Howard and his wife Cheryl donated a bronze "kissing chair" to a Los Angeles-area park where they used to date, celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. X/nickcarrscouts
However, a local resident shared on social media Friday that he couldn't actually sit in those chairs —unless he wanted to suffer burn scars.
That's because the seats, made of bronze, have no shade anywhere in sight.

Before Bernie Marcus cofounded the now-$343 billion home improvement chain Home Depot, he dreamed of becoming a doctor.
Marcus, who died in November 2024 at age 95, enrolled in pharmacy school when his family couldn't afford to send him to medical school. He would often skip classes to sell Amana freezers door-to-door, according to a memoir published by Home Depot, but he still received his degree from Rutgers University.
After college, he worked his way up through various leadership positions at manufacturing companies, and had a career-defining moment in 1978 when he was fired from a now-defunct home improvement store called Handy Dan. That's when he decided to reinvent himself and cofounded Home Depot. He was worth an estimated $11 billion when he died.
Marcus' legacy lives on, and his philanthropic foundation now nods to one of his original passions: medicine.
The Marcus Foundation, established in 1989 by Bernie and his wife, Billi, donated $28.7 million to Dr. Chuck Murry, director of the University of Southern California's Stem Cell Center, to advance clinical trials of stem cell-based therapies to regenerate damaged tissue after a heart attack.

Jeff Bezos filed to sell about 15 million Amazon shares worth roughly $4.1 billion, but the timing is almost comically bad. The filing landed a day after the stock hit an all-time high and pushed Amazon's market value above $3 trillion, according to CNBC. Amazon shares fell more than 2% Tuesday right after the filing went public.
Lest you think he's raining on Amazon's parade, though, this wasn't some spur-of-the-moment cash grab. The sale was set up months ago under a prearranged trading plan Bezos adopted back in November 2025, the kind of scheduled arrangement executives use specifically so they don't look like they're trying to time the market.
The record high itself came on the back of a genuinely strong quarter, with faster-than-expected growth in Amazon's cloud business convincing investors that its AI bets are finally paying off. The stock is up about 20% this year, easily outpacing the S&P 500's 12% gain.
Even though he stepped down as CEO in 2021, Bezos is still one of Amazon's biggest shareholders. He sold $4.8 billion worth of shares in a similar filing last year, and he donated 220,200 shares to nonprofits back in May.

A clean energy super PAC bankrolled by a left-wing billionaire is pouring millions into an effort to unseat Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., as he wages a bid for re-election in Tennessee's 5th Congressional District.
The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition super PAC had spent roughly $1.3 million on opposing Ogles and supporting his Republican challenger, Charlie Hatcher, Tennessee's former commissioner of agriculture, and recently bought another $700,000 worth of ads.
The group has raised $6.7 million this year, making Ogles a sizable portion of their spending this cycle. A Fox News Digital review of FEC filings discovered that the super PAC is bankrolled by Chris Larsen, the California-based billionaire chairman of Ripple, which is described on its website as the "leading financial technology company that offers crypto solutions for businesses."
Larsen has donated $6 million to the super PAC since Feb. 2026. His latest $5 million donation to Invest in Tomorrow Coalition PAC is his second-largest single donation after donating $5,444,975 to Future Forward PAC in 2024 to support Kamala Harris's failed presidential campaign.

A Wolverhampton Wanderers' fan group has launched a special shirt to mark the club's 150th anniversary season.
Four friends who are part of Old Gold Pack said they spent months bringing their concept to life to mark the anniversary in 2027 and although it had been a lot of work, it was "an absolute joy to get it done".
The majority of the profits from the sale of the shirt are to be donated to Wolverhampton hospice charity Compton Care.
Kieran Newey from the group said to see fans wearing the shirt as the new season kicks off will be "crazy".
"We've always been really big fans of football culture and we'd always talked about designing a football shirt," he said.

Every major European national soccer team threatened Thursday to collectively boycott competitions organized by global soccer's nonprofit governing body FIFA over plans by the federation to sell off a minority stake in the World Cup tournament to private investors.
A source close to Joshua Kushner's company, Thrive Capital, dismissed criticism over the firm's involvement in the controversial FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) investment plan to CBS News on Thursday, hours before UEFA, the European soccer federation, announced its boycott.
Kushner is the younger brother of Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law. FIFA president Gianni Infantino's close relationship with Mr. Trump drew scrutiny throughout this summer's World Cup, which was hosted jointly by the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
"I think the first ****** umption is that Trump was involved in FFE in any capacity, which is just not accurate," the source told CBS News on Thursday. "Josh himself does not have any links with the administration, he does not have any political roles, he has not donated to them, he is not involved in any capacity. If you look at his donation record, all of the causes he has donated to are Democrat … it's kind of unfair to ****** ume a lot about somebody just because of what their brother does."
"Thrive is a pretty big investment firm. Thrive now has $60 billion ****** ets under management," the source told CBS News when pressed about whether the Kushner family name had carried weight in getting the deal with FIFA done, adding that Joshua Kushner is "a pretty successful business person in his own right."

UFC star Jon Jones posted a video of him killing a pig in 2021 and that led allegedly to a long message from Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton.
Jones was living life after vacating his UFC light heavyweight ***** le at the time — and bulking up to eventually move to heavyweight — when he went on a helicopter ride to shoot at pigs alongside former rangers. Hamilton, who had just won just 7th world championship in Formula 1 months prior, apparently didn't like it.
"I went hunting years ago with bunch of army rangers, and we ended up hunting pigs from a helicopter from using AR-15s," Jones said in an interview with ALF Global. "I was so proud of myself 'cause I killed one of the pigs from the helicopter. My pig was donated to an underprivileged family in the community."
"But Lewis saw me shoot the pig from a helicopter," he continued. "He wrote me a long message saying that I was a coward, and that he thought that I was better than that. He said that the traditional way of killing animals should be with a spear or a bow and arrow. And he was saying like, only a coward would shoot an animal from an helicopter, to give the animal a chance to fight you back, at least."
